I really do feel that Ann Blyth lends a huge amount of support to the development of Tyrone Power's character in the way she handles her role. I'm thankful for the DVD produced as part of a Tyrone Power set, but I'm hoping TCM will be able to show the movie someday. I guess most classic movie fans discover films through TCM than any other source these days.Jacqueline T.

She's so subtle in her acting yet conveys volumes of feeling, that you feel you know this young woman from her depths. I liked your analysis of the ending in the present time, when Power meets the lookalike Blyth, but he doesn't have a conventional moment of I-found-my-lost-love-again. I think you get it down right, that he has no idea how to react to her since she truly is a stranger; and Blyth plays the moment so well, sympathizing with Power but also holding herself in-- she herself is not sure of this situation. (You're also right on how the color scenes look more unreal and distant in time than do the B&W ones; a peculiar effect of color film.) It's an unusual movie and should be rediscovered.grandoldmovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773085288675763855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-81499904538070990702014-08-07T23:12:05.382-04:002014-08-07T23:12:05.382-04:00Glad to hear from fans of this movie, Rick.

It is indeed a special movie. I can't help but wonder if the fact that the two leads must deal with lookalike replacements in their lives is not only bittersweet, but cruel.<br /><br />There's a lot I like about ALL THE BROTHERS WERE VALIANT, though I agree, it's got some rough edges. Looking forward to discussing it.Jacqueline T.

I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU is such a very special movie, your post makes me want to revisit it.<br /><br />I also enjoy ALL THE BROTHERS WERE VALIANT although it's not a perfect film. Hard not to enjoy with the three leads, Technicolor, and Miklos Rozsa score. Looking forward to your post!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-62419990280962092822014-08-07T18:54:06.923-04:002014-08-07T18:54:06.923-04:00Jacqueline, I confess I don't often watch time...Jacqueline, I confess I don't often watch time-travel films, but I must say I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU truly touched my heart! You especially got me truly caring about Power and Blyth's characters! It didn't hurt that Michael Rennie was among the cast as well, too, as our family likes him! :-) You've gotten me keeping an eye out for I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU. BRAVA for fascinating and your moving blog post with the remarkable Miss Blyth! DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.com
