For the Moment is a beautiful little film of which few have heard. More's the pity.
Filmed in my home province of beautiful Manitoba, Canada, it offers an insight into the experience and emotions of two charming young people who would never have met -- given their geographically separated homelands, Australia and Canada. -- except for the eruption of World War II which created many such alliances.
The capital city of Winnipeg hosted a war-time canteen for service men and my aunt was a volunteer there. She had the honour of meeting many young lads -- from the British Empire and allied countries -- who were training at our various camps. Richard Burton was one such and he mentions, in his biography, his training experience.
The beach scene was filmed at Grand Beach which was a very popular summer site for young families and young people so it was a pleasure to see it so beautifully used in this film.
As others here have mentioned, the various backgrounds lent much to the story.
The cast was well chosen and portrayed their characters with respect and sincerity.
Thank you for the opportunity to voice my humble opinions here.
