Trivia
The film's alternative title S.W.A.L.K. is a common British abbreviation for Sealed With A Loving Kiss, a phrase that lovers write on the envelope of love letters to each other.

Goofs
In the headmaster's RE lesson he quotes: 'And Jesus said, "Take up thy bed and walk."' He then asks the class the name of the man addressed and the names of the disciples who were with Jesus at the time. Jesus' quote occurs on two separate occasions (Mark Chap. 2 and John Chap. 5). On neither occasion is the man addressed named, nor is there mention of Jesus being accompanied by any of his disciples. Hence the pupils could not be expected to give a 'correct' answer.

Quotes
Melody: [reading from a tombstone] "Fifty years' happiness." How long's fifty years?
Daniel: A hundred and fifty school terms, not including holidays.
Melody: Will you love me that long?
Daniel: [nods affirmative] Mmm-hmmm.
Melody: I don't think you will.
Daniel: Of course. I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?

Remember when...

What can I say? I love this film! I saw it when I was 8 and living in Argentina. I was later disappointed to find that it was hard to find in the US, but thanks to the wonders of the Internet I was able to find it and own it and noticed it has quite a following. It may not be for everyone, especially if you like action packed, fast paced films.

However, if you like a simple love story, good 'Bee Gees' and 'Crosby, Stills & Nash and Young' music, and a happy feeling, watch this
