I saw this movie 12 years before and it stay in my mind forever.

This was one of the finest romantic films EVER made.

That movie broke my heart...and still does everytime I watch it :(

This movie was so popular in Albania in early 90'. I am 28 and can't hold my tears falling down... Greetings from Albania.

When she searches for her lover in the town and he sees her looking and hides she almost catches a glimpse of him but at that moment is suddenly blinded by a flash of bright sunlight reflecting off a mirror (representing his vanity I see suppose) being carried by movers to a truck. His arrogant vanity denied him a joyful life with his true love leaving him instead with a loveless marriage to a barren woman. When he sees the ruddy young man standing by the road whom the farm girl died giving birth to and the music swells with his astonishment, viewers sense the importance the seemingly small decisions one makes in life and the crucial ramifications they can have. One of the most powerful and well directed scenes ever filmed. For those with eyes that really see, this masterpiece scene will resonate forever.

A man gives up the woman he truly loves for a bloodless, childless, but, for the era, socially acceptable marriage. And at the end, having just been brought face to face with the extent of his betrayal, he's given a glimpse of the son he didn't realize he had and now will never know. Everyone sits through the credits, too stunned to move.

Was just a kid age 10 - 12. Watched it in the late 80's /early 90's. Still can't get over this classic movie.

Everytime I watch this wonderful movie,it touches my heart so deep the way it did when I first watched it 20 years ago.It's a fantastic love story,but with a very sad ending.Finally after 20 years I got this movie on dvd.Fantastic movie....

I bawled my eyes out and cornered the market on tissues

Cry like a baby.... I never see something so beautiful ....In all of it's glory LOVE !!!

one of the rare movies which made me cry, thanks for posting it

I can't even listen to this without bursting into tears. If I watch the clip as well, I'm done for. Perfect marriage of music to content. Is there a clip of her searching for him in town? That's heart-breaking. Great movie.

Fantastic film, brilliant music. But so rarely shown on TV...

"Where was she now, the girl that I'd wronged so cruelly?"

I've wondered who played Francis at the end of the movie. He's only in it for seconds but how much he resembles them both. The actor is not mentioned in the credits at all. Odd.

This film is one of the most heart touching love story. I was so happy when I found this movie on DVD last year in Japan. The DVD is still available on amazon.co.jp but it is region 2 only.

yeah....i was young when i saw this movie....omg...i suddenly fall in love with ''Megan'' and Asthon piss me off because no guts to do it....he finish with a stuck up woman without child.....poor guy.......and Megan (Imogen...WOW :) ) she died......i cried like a baby lol!!!!! seriously......awesome movie whole lotta love!!!!!!!!

This is A MASTERPIECE FILM🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I have no doubts for british, they make THE FILMS!!!!!

I usually don't like romance or "chick flicks" as i guess it's called but this movie will forever haunt me. I was around 22 and laid up in bed with the flu when i first saw this movie. There was nothing else on so i kept watching this. When i first saw Megan my heart just melted. And when that coward chose that stuck up shrew over the sweet beautiful Megan i wanted to give him an a$$ whipping of all a$$ whippings. But for him to find out what fate happened to poor Megan then he gets to see the son he'll never get to know was just what he deserved. And it wasn't so much complication during giving birth that killed Megan, it was a broken heart.

Even 15 years after I watched this movie, I still got chills at 1:22 I hate that coward though :))

Ik heb deze film op VHS, en na 20 jaar heb ik er weer gezien op mij oude video, prachtig muziek, het verschurend verhaal.

this film is based on "The Apple Tree" by John Galsworthy. I read the story sometime in the 1980s but I couldn't quite picture some of the scenery. Nice to know they made a film, it makes the landscape clearer to imagine. Very sad story

"We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears". - Francois de La Rochefoucauld (15 September 1613 - 17 March 1680)

O cried too much in this scene, when he saw his son.

yes, I love this movie. Thank you.

The best love story movie ever.

I remember this film and this ending in particular very well. It is so poignant. Thanks for posting this version...in the USA this film was released with a VERY JARRINGLY odd choice of "I know you're out there somewhere" popular song dubbed over Delerue's beautiful credit music. Our local film reviewer cautioned us to RUN OUT OF THE THEATRE as the end credits rolled because it spoiled the ending.

Thank you for posting. I love the music of Georges Delerue.

My father would get so emotional by this ending! He no longer lives and I get double emotional today!

You british. HANDS DOWN you make the best films WORLDWIDE. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love has no age, no limit; and no death (John Galsworthy author of A Summer Story)

@frubtok7 - short, sad, and sweet ending - like poor Megan's life.

안정되고 사회적으로 빛나는 인생을 위해서 그녀를 떠나 버렸고 그녀는 아이를 낳다가 죽었습니다 세월이 흘러 그 남자는 예전에 잠시 머물렸던 곳을 지나가다가 잠시동안 사랑을 했던 여자의 죽음을 알게 되고 그녀가 낳은 아들을 멀리서나마 보게 되네요~한번의 선택으로 그는 빛나고 풍요로운 인생을 얻었지만 장성한 아들조차에게도 아버지라 밝힐수 없는 현실이 주어졌어요 좋은 선택이란 무엇인지 판단하기엔 어려워요 사랑하는 여자를 떠나 성공한 삶을 사는 방법 또 하나는 사랑하는 여자와 살지만 물질적으로 풍족하지 않는 삶을 사는 방법~~~그 어떤것을 선택했어야만 했을 저 남자가 너무 애처롭네요

,😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

These scene should be longer about 2-3 minutes. Why is is so short ? The only equally touchy scene I know is in City lights by Charlie Chaplin. Unfortunately this movie and its ending is only known to very narrow movie fans. In Poland it wasn't even released on DVD !

You can buy this wonderful film on i tunes !!!!!

@ralado46 Spectacular film. Great cast. Great score. Imogen Stubbs is the prettiest woman I have ever seen and the ending is so poingant! I an guy and it is the "chick flick" to end them all. It was on You Tube but has been taken down. Rats!!! Why didn't down load it!

@markoe36m It is up on You Tube again! A summer story scene 1/7

you can get it at amazon.co.uk but hurry as only 4 left in stock :)

@markoe36m It was on You tube for a while but is gone. It is almost impossible to find. BUT I am getting a DVD from Japan as far as I know NEXT WEEK . We searched world wide to find it. You can get used VHS tapes if you dilligently search the Kijiji type sites. Tthey are dodgy as you have no idea what condition they are in. I m very surprised this has never been re released. It is a spectacular film with a great soundtrack, epic cast and it is the "chick flick" to end all chick flicks.

Omg nooooo Soooo sad

😢😢😢

@sgtcrab1 not anymore. they removed it...

John Galsworthy The apple tree

@eronildocelestino Meu brother, gostaria muito de encontrar este filme, mas nem aqui pela net estou conseguindo. Se puder me ajudar ficarei grato, um abraço!

ONLY BRITISH CAN CREATE MASTERPIECES FILMS

I was crying for a hour after this movie. Would love to see it again ...
