I'll Never Forget You (aka The House In The Square) (1951)

An atomic scientist (Tyrone Power) working in London is transported to the London of 1784! Because of his knowledge of future events that have transpired between 1784 and his own mid 20th century time, he is looked upon as mad or even worse, a demon. The one bright spot is a lovely girl (Ann Blyth) who believes in him. Based on the play BERKELEY SQUARE by John L. Balderston which was previously made into a film in 1933 and directed by Roy Ward Baker (QUATERMASS AND THE PIT). A precursor to the popular 1980 romantic fantasy SOMEWHERE IN TIME, the present day footage is shot in B&W and resorts to Technicolor for the 1784 London section. Power and Blyth make for a beautiful couple but Power, who usually is a dashing romantic hero, seems too gloomy here which puts a damper on the romantic aspect of the movie. It easily holds one's interest but isn't gripping enough to invest any emotionality in the proceedings. I wanted to be swept up in the romanticism of it all but instead, I found myself an impartial observer. With Michael Rennie, Kathleen Byron, Beatrice Campbell, Dennis Price, Irene Browne and Felix Aylmer.
