Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The late British director Richard Marquand had his share of hits (Eye of the Needle, Return of the Jedi, Jagged Edge), but when he was off his game (Hearts of Fire, The Legacy), he was truly off. The 1984 Until September is one of Marquand's misfires, though it is hardly an embarrassment. A love story about two strong-willed individuals, the film stars Karen Allen as Mo, an American tourist (from that other "Mo," Missouri) stranded in Paris for a few weeks. Crashing in a friend's plush apartment, Mo meets her handsome neighbor, Xavier (Thierry Lhermitte), a married banker whose family awaits him elsewhere on holiday. The two initiate a romance that finds them butting heads twice as often as kissing, with Xavier frequently flogging his overconfidence as a man of the world to a distinctly unimpressed, far from naive Mo. The more Xavier's façade crumbles, the nicer and more real he becomes, until he has to face the fact that his life of marital convenience and mistresses is a charade. As a peek into an affair that blossoms not because of Paris's effect on lovers but because of the gift of honesty, Until September is somewhat unusual. --Tom Keogh

Description

Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark) delivers "a performance of great humor and subtle emotion" (Variety) as a lonely American tourist who falls for a suave French playboy in this bright, funny and passionate romance. As far as Mo Alexander (Allen) was concerned, Paris was just an unplanned pit stop on her whirlwind tour of Europe. But that was before she missed her connecting flight and met sexy Frenchman Xavier de la Perouse (Thierry Lhermitte). Savvy, sophisticated and positively drop-deadgorgeous, he captures Mo's heart forever with just one steamy, blue-eyed glance. But is this hot Parisian dreamboat looking for a long-term commitment or is he simply passing time Until September?

4 out of 5 stars A Romantic Movie.......2006-11-15

3 out of 5 stars Nice, relaxing, a simple love story........2006-11-06

A very sweet and simple love story, everybody knows the end...but it is very enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars Best Romantic Film EVER.....to me!.......2006-07-15

I saw this film as a teenager when it came out in I believe 1984-85? I'm originally from a very small town in Ohio and I couldn't believe that 'they' actually got an "art-house" style movie to play where I was living...and I sincerely believe it's never happened again!
What a wonderful surprise, knowing nothing about it before seeing it.
Karen Allen and Thierry Lhermitte are beautiful together. It's such a simple story (trip chaperone gets stuck in Paris after missing flight and starts affair with arrogant married frenchman) and yet the actors and location shots just meld together perfectly to create a most memorable, touching and funny film.
If you like/love romantic films...Until September has got to be in your collection!!
Peace.

4 out of 5 stars Just a simple, good love story.......2005-11-04

I saw Karen Allen in the Glass Menagerie with Joan Woodward and was very impressed with her acting. I just happened to watch this movie that TiVo downloaded by itself.

What a delight. So real in feelings. Great acting and scenery and that French guy...WOW ....even at my age he gave me a thrill.

I love this movie and want to watch it again so I set Tivo to download and am buying the Video while I wait for the DVD.

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL - every time I see it........2005-10-15

I saw this movie when it was released in the theatre -- and again in video at least 10 times, and thankfully, it is now on DVD. I LOVE this movie - a classic love story and could watch it over and over again.
