Love Always Love is a charming little comedy that offers a glimpse into post-war college life, filled with youthful exuberance and the complexities of rekindled affection. The atmosphere is light, but there's an undercurrent of nostalgia that runs through it, especially when Claude's childhood friend Anita waltzes back into his life. The pacing is fairly laid-back, allowing the interactions between the five boys to breathe, which gives room for some genuinely funny moments. What makes it distinctive is how it captures the awkwardness of young love and friendships that have evolved over time, all wrapped in a warm, inviting tone. It’s not groundbreaking, but there's a sweet simplicity that feels refreshing.
This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, as it hasn't been widely available on modern formats. Original prints and any surviving reels are of particular interest, given the film's lack of restoration or re-release. The thematic elements of youthful love and friendship resonate with many, yet there’s scarce critical attention which makes it an intriguing find for those who appreciate lesser-known titles from the early '50s. As a result, it garners a niche following among collectors who enjoy exploring the less commercialized side of film history.
