Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Gandalf_a I didn't know the title of this film until I outlined the plot on the comments section of the Guardian and someone identified it. It is a great film and an excellent plot. I always think if it stays in your mind it is well worth watching. I'm surprised no one had done a remake of it.I'm on a quest now to get a region two DVD. If you get the opportunity of seeing it it is highly recommended. I will keep on searching. I've made progress now I know the title of the film. Hopefully if enough sci-fi enthusiasts add comments here they may produce one.

ChrisD67 Is it possible that this movie, The Love War, was a remake of an earlier movie. I have very limited memory of the movie I saw in the early 70's. I remember the last 30 min of the film, but my memory is of a man who looked like Rod Taylor, and the female actor had long blond hair, And my memory of the scenery is different too.I will concede that the problem could very well be my memory, but Angie Dickinson was adored by my father, and I think I would have recognized her if the version I saw had her in it.I have seen the movie on You-Tube and everything rang a bell, but not the bell I remember. Is it me? Or, was it a remake?

lkhpinnell At last after years I know the name of this film, with this title no wonder I couldn't remember it. What is it about this film that causes those who saw it when young to remember it so well, like others who have commented on this I saw this aged about 8 to 10 years old on British TV in the mid 70's, I remember a trailer for it but not the very beginning, perhaps I missed it and that is why I couldn't remember the title. I remember some scenes so clearly however and have never seen it repeated and no one else that I described it to can remember it. Perhaps it is the ending that caused it to stick in my mind the first film I have seen with such a twist, will people who have seen the sixth sense feel the same. The heroin is there to be saved or help the hero , not in this case a real femme fatal, but not happy about doing it. Micale Cain said why do they remake good films, they are already good it is the bad ones that need remaking to make them better, if not a direct quote it describes the gist of what he said. I am not sure if this could live up to my memories of it , but I would like the chance to see it again, would I be disappointed? hopefully not

gravity3 Like most of the comments here, I'm working off of my childhood memory. But the fact that I remembered the title after all these years has to count for the quality of the storyline, low-budget or not.I have several scenes of this film stuck in my brain - which I won't give away here should we actually get a DVD box set of the Best of the Movies of the Week some day (hint, hint). But I have to go on record as saying that Spielberg's DUEL isn't the only TV film ABC produced under the Movie of the Week banner that is worthy of note. I'd venture to guess that there were a dozen of these suspense/horror/sci-fi genre films nearly as good (or better) as much of the summer movies we're seeing in theaters these days (and I'm talking about storytelling, not effects and explosions). That may not say as much about the quality of those TV movies as the lack thereof in modern films. But LOVE WAR in particular, was one I watched every time it was on and has held up - at least in my mind.I'd love to see it again, if only for the sake of nostalgia.
