Watch For All Time For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Powerful

Excellent but underrated film

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The endless problem with time travel stories... It's impossible to know how much going back in time literally would change the 'later' present. There's The Butterfly Effect, The Sound of Thunder, the latter film showing dramatic and even catastrophic results of meddling with the fabric of Time. But this film doesn't focus on the aspects of physics. It is basically a romantic fantasy, it's about a man who takes a drastic chance in life because he feels he "does not fit in his own time" as Charles Lattimer himself says. So any paradox is not really important here. It was mainly used to conjure up a happy ending. The Sommerville scenes are almost impossibly pastoral, but 'For All Time' is undeniably a beautiful, dreamy movie and Mark Harmon, always a treat, was perfectly cast. Although her contribution is very small, a special mention of Georgie Collins, I loved her snorting...

This film, which is family acceptable viewing and which contains no blasphemous words of any description, is a joy to watch and listen to.It is also very predictable which is what we all like as we are then somewhat involved within the film itself. I dearly wish to secure a copy of this film but as a previous observer commented " where is the DVD?" Mark Harmon takes the part off so well as do the other actors in the film - it is strangely conceivable that we could travel through time and accept it -this is of course down to the script writers who are to be congratulated.Although this is a précis of what I would like to write as a comment on the film I feel that I have covered all the points I wish to make.

This is a vintage Rod Sterling production, which originally was done as the thirtieth show of "The Twilight Zone" in 1960. The main character takes a train to work and after going through a tunnel is transported back 100 years. This is mysterious, but after transferring back and forth several times, he meets a lovely young woman from the 1890's and falls in love with her. But he already has a wife. Then he realizes it will be another 70 years or so before she is born. What does he do? Stay with the new sweetheart who lives in the uncomplicated 1890's, or go back to the faultfinding complainer of the 1990s? The train conductor tells him he's got to make a choice and stick with it. The special thing about this movie is that men will automatically identify with one of the male leads, and women will see a little of themselves in both the wife and sweetheart. I've seen the updated version (Mark Harmon and Morgan Freeman) twice, and would very much like to get a copy for myself. As an aside, my wife recently purchased the British movie "Love Actually" and likes it so much that she's watched it 6 or 7 times. I may do the same thing with "A Stop at Willoughby."

I started watching this last night without seeing the name or who starred in it and found it interesting enough to watch the entire thing! A good family movie. Only objectionable content might be that there is divorce implied. It's an old-fashioned, well-acted movie.
