    • Trivia
      The film's alternative title S.W.A.L.K. is a common British abbreviation for Sealed With A Loving Kiss, a phrase that lovers write on the envelope of love letters to each other.
    • Goofs
      In the headmaster's RE lesson he quotes: 'And Jesus said, "Take up thy bed and walk."' He then asks the class the name of the man addressed and the names of the disciples who were with Jesus at the time. Jesus' quote occurs on two separate occasions (Mark Chap. 2 and John Chap. 5). On neither occasion is the man addressed named, nor is there mention of Jesus being accompanied by any of his disciples. Hence the pupils could not be expected to give a 'correct' answer.
    • Quotes

      Melody: [reading from a tombstone] "Fifty years' happiness." How long's fifty years?

      Daniel: A hundred and fifty school terms, not including holidays.

      Melody: Will you love me that long?

      Daniel: [nods affirmative] Mmm-hmmm.

      Melody: I don't think you will.

      Daniel: Of course. I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?

    Wonderful, I could not believe my eyes...

    I saw this film a month ago and I feel very sorry for all the people who will never be able to see it, because it does not exist in video editions.

    The plot is original, and the performance of all the kids is completely surprising. It has several comedy touches, but it is mainly a romantic story. I recommend it to those who have the possibility of seeing it in a cinema, as I had.
