Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
thinker1691 This movie is called " I'll never forget you. " The director is Roy Ward Baker and his finish product does a remarkable job of it becoming a Masterpiece. The story however could have been selected from those strange episodes of 'The Twilight Zone'. It concerns a modern day American scientist named Peter Standish (Tyrone Power) who not only works on a project dealing with Nuclear energy, but also inherits an early English house set in the fashionable part of Londan. Once there he has a over powering feeling of deja vu and actually believes he has lived there before. Believeing he is the direct descendant of his father, he confides in his best friend Roger Forsyth (Michael Rennie) that he will travel back to the past. Dismissing the possibility, Roger invites Peter to stay with him for a vacation, when he abruptly disappears and reappears as his ancestor in 1784 A.D. During his absence Peter takes the place of his ancestor and enjoys all the sights and experiences of England which becomes more dangerous the longer he remains. The movie itself becomes a delightful dream but one which evolves into a nightmare. This is a must film for Tyrone power fans and is further enhanced with the talents of Michael Rennie. All in all a Classic film for many a collector. ****
RJupiter2 It was about 25 years ago I watched a Tyrone Power marathon of classic movies! This movie was once called "The House On The Square" which was shown with the other movies and just stood out from all the rest! Years later I too searched the internet for the DVD or VHS, but to no avail (Now at Amazon with a block of Tyrone movies).I was so glad to finally see it again and to be amazed how much more I even liked it! And also surprised how much I had forgotten! Without giving any details away it was just a gripping performance by Tyrone Power and Ann Blyth plus the entire cast which was why "I Never Forgot This Movie".
tanya-burnay I believe this is the 1951 film, aka 'I'll never forget you' and 'Man of two worlds'. I have never seen this film, but my Dad has, years ago, and would dearly love to see it again. Especially the version with Tyrone Power and Ann Blythe. I am trying to find out if this is available to buy, either in the US or UK. Does anyone have any idea if this available on DVD/VHS and where I might be able to get a copy? I'd really appreciate any help or direction. Thanks
spideymac-1 I saw this before I saw Somewhere in Time and it was very unique for its time with the change from black and white to color. I felt the story was very excellent and later just as good as (the modernized remake), all things considered. Of course, I'm somewhat more partial to Jane Syemour vis-a-vis Ann Blythe. I have not had the privilege of seeing the "Berkely Square" version. I was fortunate enough to view this as "I'll Never Forget You" on TV quite some time ago. I forget the Movie Program but I was very disappointed to find out it was not available in any version on VHS or DVD. I place this romantic version along side of another favorite of mine, i.e. " Luck of The Irish" also starring Tyrone Power.
