About four years ago, this gem became available and I, like the genius I am, bought it from amazon.com, brand new. It seemed to immediately go out of print again and hasn't been seen since. I put mine up for sale and could have sold it for $300 but couldn't part with it and bowed out of the deal. Today, people are willing to pay practically ANY amount to get this movie, so I might put it back on the market. I'm still not sure... It's as good as I remembered and it sits quietly on my shelf. Occasionally, I take it down and play it. Each time, I am consumed by Jean Seberg's beauty and that haunting theme music that is heard throughout the movie. I'm thinking that I'd better sell before it comes out on DVD! But, how many years will THAT be?

I can't recommend this one enough - I paid £40 for a VHS original of it (they can change hands for £200 !) AND IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE. I have had it about ten days and watched it 5 times already - in fact I have watched it the last three nights in a row !- no other film will satisfy me! Essential ingredients: A bored, neglected wife; a psychiatrist husband away from home; a handsome sailor; flashbacks; amnesia; infidelity; guilt; a gunshot; a body that disappears; a body that comes back to life, a child witness; some dazzling Yves St Laurent frocks; the Riviera setting; Henry Mancini's lovely music; a campy neighbour; men in uniform; ever more ludicrous plot twists; Jean Seberg at her most gorgeous and charming... its like a checklist of everything I want in a movie. The scene in the Columbe D'or restaurant where Jean shows Garrison the doves turning gold as they are caught by the setting sun's rays "as they say goodbye to the day" is utter bliss - I'm already bracketing it with Liz & Monty on the balcony as a peak in romantic film making. Fascinating to think how Hitchcock might have made more of the second - thriller - half (the first - romantic - half is perfection as it is).. and also speculate about what a splendid Marnie or Melanie Daniels Seberg would have made. And check out the love for it on the IMDb comments board - only 97 of us might have seen it but boy, do we love it! This is definitely the jewel in the crown of my Seberg project so far (although 5 more of the available ones still to see) and indeed my new movie of the year, obliterating such weighty competition as Angel Angel Down We go, Orgasmo and The Green Slime. Get yourself a copy, take the phone off the hook, open a box of Terry's All Gold, uncork The Harveys Bristol Cream and wallow in this lush, neglected treat.

I was a very young 20 year old college student in the Philippines and very much in love, when I first saw this movie. The 50's thru the 60's to me was just the right time to fall in love. So many good movies then, so many good movie themes, so many good actors and so many good songs. Life was so easy then and falling in love was so simple. I loved watching this movie just as I did many other movies from that period. So when recorded VHS movie tapes became available over 30 years ago, I made sure I bought all the movies that I enjoyed watching then. I have the VHS of this movie and of many other classic movies of that era, including a few of earlier and later years. Just as I do with all my other movies, I watch this at least two or three times a year or whenever I am in the mood, to cry, to laugh or to love. I know I will enjoy watching these movies for many more years or at least until my tapes give up on me. I also have a few CD's and LP's of soundtrack and movie themes from many movies. I love the theme from this movie as well. Henry Mancini was a great Songwriter and Composer. "Moment To Moment" was one of his best work. He has done so many movie themes and I enjoy listening to each one of them as well. The man is a genius. Watching this movie and listening to its music take me back to many good memories. There are still a few elusive movies that I still have to own. "Tender Is The Night", "Tiara Tahiti", "My Geisha", Bonjour Tristesse" and many more,including many soundtracks. I hope I find them soon for they don't make movies or write songs as they used to, or like these, anymore.

I saw this movie about 20-25 years ago and thought it was wonderful. I couldn't find it after that but over the years have told people about it. Beautiful scenery and a wonderfully written story. My dream of driving up the coast of France began with this movie and will finally happen in May of this year. Funny how a movie can get in your heart and linger there. I still remember the birds flying overhead as they sit on the terrace....if you haven't seen it, you really must treat yourself or buy it as a gift for someone you know who loves good old romantic movies. I intend to buy it now that I have found it again. I am so glad to have found this site!

What an incredible theme song this lovely picture has. Henry Mancini, along with other major composers, wrote some of the best movie themes during this era (50s & 60s). Also, during that era, songs that went on to get nominated for Oscars were first rate - unlike today's non-descript dreck. "Moment to Moment" is a lovely movie. I loved the scene at the café when the white doves flew up into the sun (turning golden) to say "goodbye to the day." That glorious theme music crept in all through the picture, making the mood extra special. I recently bought a Mancini CD just to get the theme from this film. Jean Seberg was a beautiful actress with perfect looks which matched the astonishingly handsome, Sean Garrison, playing the man she cheats with and believes she's killed. I could see Lana Turner playing this role, it was her kind of picture, but Seberg was just fine. I'm just disappointed that I can't have this on DVD with possible "extras" of outtakes, interviews, etc., especially with Mancini who created this impassioned music. The music theme set the entire mood for the movie and that theme is available on Henry Mancini's A Legendary Performer CD. I just love it.

I saw this movie years ago and it has always stuck in my mind. I would love to see this movie come back to television. I was in my teens when I first saw it; I am now 47. Please bring it back!I would recommend this movie to people who love thrillers and love stories in one.

An excellent example of the "Hollywoodized" Jean Seberg, as opposed to her better-known persona as the cropped-blonde gamine girl of the French New Wave cinema. In this silly-but-likable bit of pseudo-suspense fluff, Jean gets to wheel around the Nice flower market and the Corniche in her elegant Citroen DS21 ragtop with an equally elegant YSL wardrobe to boot!! If the juvenile-bullfrog sounds coming from her son Timmy (child actor Peter Robbins) sound vaguely familiar to you, it is perhaps because Peter provided the voice of Charlie Brown in those classic "Peanuts" TV specials (Chas. Brown Xmas, Great Pumpkin, etc.). Too bad Universal had to shoot so much of the film on a backlot set that is quite obviously NOT the Cote d'Azur, but weather conditions (an unseasonable cold snap) precluded most of the location shoot. Overall though, a fun film (how can you not have fun when your next-door neighbor is Pussy Galore, aka Honor Blackman?). A votre sante!
