So Little Time (1952)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Pretty Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I saw this Movie about a month ago on the Gem TV Channel in December. I thought it was fascinating to watch. It has such an unusual storyline about the love between a German Soldier and a Belgium woman whose country was occupied by the Nazis. I only came across it because I was home one Saturday during the day and was searching through the TV Guide for something to watch on TV. It has got me interested in Actress Maria Schell. For those In Australia wanting to see it. You have to write to Channel 9 and ask for it to be rescreened on its Gem Channel as they have the rights to it.

Saw this movie as a child but never got to see the end of the film. My wonderful husband tracked down a dubbed German copy re-titled "Wenn das Herz spricht" on the internet for my birthday. Have contacted the Library of Congress--they own a copy but for some reason this U.K.-made movie is not available to the public. Would love to see the original English version that I saw in 1968 while babysitting. The couple came home and I never got to see the end of the movie! It was shown on a cable or PBS channel in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area c. 1968. Maria Schell and Marius Goring were so real and touching in their portrayals. Would love to hear other viewer comments about this poignant and achingly beautiful story.

I have been waiting for over 40 years to see this movie again but so far to my knowledge it is not available anywhere. This film has been forgotted by everyone, sad but true. It is really one of the finest world war 2 films made in the UK. I only wish someone, somehow, can bring it back. I made numerous efforts to find this film but so far no one can tell me where it can be obtained. I have written to many film studios in the UK but all tell me the film is not availabe. No one can tell me why but the film cannot be bought, shown, or distributed by anyone. It is as if it never existed but to those of us who know the film realize it was a wonderful love story true to world war 2 love story films.

I can't recall when I first saw this movie but I didn't soon forget it.Without a doubt one of Maria Schell's greatest roles.Marius Goring was also great in his role.And an uncharacteristic part for him.I only wish it was available on video.
