"An Innocent Love"-U of Wash Campus 1982

[@gyrlgeorge]

Having grown up in the 70’s I just love watching this era of movies. You don’t even have to be looking at the movie to tell what decade it comes from, it’s that same opening music! 😂

[@tonycollazorappo]

I was born in 1961, I remember the 60s and 70s. They were the best times to grow up, the music was groovy!

[@booth2710]

Yes if it's not light feel good it's a 'day glo day' music it's disco music bouncing you out of your seat.

[@Angela-jn7iv]

I had never seen this movie before. Doug McKeon after his On Golden Pond performance, and Melissa Sue Anderson, very much channeling Elizabeth McGovern’s character in Ordinary People with her short dark hair. Love the mature, nuanced performances by all. Love can be so complicated.

I LOVE the nostalgia!! Thank you for the upload…this was my birth year 😊😇☺️

[@cannong1728]

I saw this movie on TV in '82...hit a cord seeing it again after ...ummm...many years. I was in college at the time....brought me back to those years. Up-beat, feel-good movie and definitely has that late '70's early 80's vibe. Added bonus was Melissa Sue Anderson...she was so "foxy"! Thanks for the up-load.

[@susykresida5369]

That's so beautiful story ....I love Melisa

[@michelleetoile9762]

Whenever someone guilt trips you into giving up your "passion and dreams" to be with them is definitely a red flag. I love how Harry is just being himself and knows who he is at his age. He inspires Molly, even though he knows that she is taken. Harry seems so grounded in the process, unlike Dunc. That dude is trouble! Back to watching the next half of this film! Thanks for posting!

[@vernonfrance2974]

Dunc got over his anger and went to the airport to say goodbye to Molly. When he realized Harry was there too he dragged Harry out to the runway to say goodbye to Molly and he even gave Harry the gift that Molly got for him. Because Dunc did that he found out that Molly would never forget Harry. I think that proves Dunc was a great guy who just needed to mature emotionally. I imagine that Dunc and Harry enjoyed their shared rowing experience and Harry was grateful to become more well rounded. I imagine the two went on to have a lasting bromance.

A feel good movie even though heartbreaking at times but this is life and reality and the age of youth and innocence, hence "An Innocent Love." Doug McKeon shines as Harry, a child prodigy who really hasn't experienced the true meaning of life yet...be sure to check out "On Golden Pond," a cinema classic where Doug co-stars with Hollywood legends Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda!

[@marifromky]

so cool that they're focusing on that eclipse and talking about "the next one". the next one happened last august and was awesome!

[@creativeflow7243]

A simple, but beautiful, film that captures the joys and pitfalls of "first love" perfectly. I must say I was shocked by how nonchalant Dunc was about Harry's attraction to Molly. But then again, he was determined to make sure she stayed (at any cost) while Harry gave Molly the courage to expand her wings and fly, figuratively speaking-even if that meant losing her.

[@rocknroller77]

Harry definitely was more of a man than Dunc. Even at 14. Wish I could meet my Harry.

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

Literally, she flew away on a plane with wings.

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

Dunc genuinely liked Harry because they actually did have a lot in common just different approaches to getting what they wanted. Dunc approached the teamwork aspect of winning a boat race. Harry was interested in the science of boating ie the resistance and the formulas. Dunc admitted that what Harry was talking about was interesting and was surprised that Harry took an interest in boating as a science to the point he read about it but Dunc lived it. Dunc TAUGHT Harry. It was good for Harry that he likes women. If Harry didn't like women then Dunc would dehumanize Harry. Dunc is a natural leader. He inspires confidence to win and he knows how to use it to make people lose too. Harry's mom is the only one who wants Molly to succeed at UCLA...so she doesn't return. Some of the distance between Harry's mom and her husband is because Harry's mom still thinks about Buddy Sherman and her husband knows it.

[@hotQueen787]

Desperate lives from 1982 was also very good movie .. about angel dust. Great cast as well!!

[@iluvpepi]

For a 16 year old girl, this movie was wonderful. It’s still wonderful for a 52 year old woman. ☺️ I also liked seeing the scenes of UW. It brought back nice memories of living in Seattle.

[@westsideflyer7559]

Glad you liked it. The UW certainly has changed quite a bit since this was made in 1982. I've found out that my friend's wife was in one scene as she walked to class. She remembered walking past a production team but did not realize she had been filmed until she saw this!

На каналі 1+1 я цей фільм бачив вперше і в останнє. Десь в кінці 90-х років. До сих пір памятаю його.

[@dotsyjmaher]

Me, too, and I really need it now

[@miknmas1301]

The first 2 minutes this video takes me back to grade school watching little film strips of old 70s clips of Jack and the Bean Stalk or The Boy with the Red Balloon. Does anyone remember those films? It's the feel of the movie, the music, I feel SO crazy old.

[@kidmack1121]

The Red Balloon (1956) was, and still is one of my all-time favorites. When I about 5, my mother and father bought me a pair of sandals and I didn't want to wear them until they showed this film to my kindergarten class and I saw that they were the same ones from France.

[@davidcooper9952]

Balloon!

[@CynthiaSchoenbauer]

Nice story. Thank you. Also I enjoyed the music. And the feelings were reciprocated. I think that was the point of the movie.

[@westsideflyer7559]

Glad you liked it. I was on the staff of the UW Crew at this time and the scene where the guys are drinking beer in a tavern is inside a place called the Knarr Tavern (A Knarr is a Norwegian warship. At one time, it was owned by a Norwegian immigrant.) Anyhow, real estate has gone bonkers in Seattle and the piece of land where the Knarr was located was worth huge amounts of money now. A Washington oar had been put up on the wall back when this movie was made and one of our guys read that the tavern was going to be torn down. He went in and rescued the oar- the current owners didn't know any of the story behind it. The banner in the tavern that said "Emfbo" on it was rescued from the UW Athletic Dept. and is in another guys house. His wife allows it because she rowed at Washington, too. Because of all of this, I searched for a copy of the movie and found one from a seller on eBay from Greece (!) If you turned on the closed captions, the lines were printed at the bottom of the screen in Greek and the DVD box cover was in Greek. The boy was certainly thinking of someone other than himself because he respected what the girl was trying to do with her life and helped her even though it was going to break his heart. You are correct- the feelings were reciprocated and it was just one of those things that happens in college- even if you are only 14. Today, you might say he was "friend zoned". So, that's the whole story... ;)

[@jiaojiao74]

I was looking for this movie for 30+ years! When I watched this movie I was 15, just after my Molly Rush left from the campus and my life to pursue her dancing career which she's good at...I also moved to another city with my parents shortly, and never met her again.

[@Kvn-yh9zz]

Я первый и последний раз посмотрел этот фильм по ТВ в середине 90-х годов. И с тех самых пор я запомнил его. Каждый из нас проходил через нечто подобное. Фильм для подростков, о самой первой любви, которая редко перерастает в нечто большее, но всё же запоминается нам на всю оставшуюся жизнь. I watched this film for the first and last time on TV in the mid-90s. And ever since I remembered it. Each of us went through something similar. The film for teenagers, about the very first love, which rarely grows into something more, but it is still remembered for the rest of our lives.

This was one of my fav's ,and now that I am watching it as an adult I can certainly see how gifted Doug McKeon was compared to the other cast..He practically owned most of the scenes and was leading his two bff's through their scenes..I guess what I am saying is that you can see how naturally talented he was some of the other cast sounded like they were reading from their scripts..He grew-up and became a very successful director /producer not what was expected from him that's for sure..

Man, Dunc turned out to be a real one bringing Harry out to see his sweetheart Molly. The acronym she put on there was like their secret i love you to each other omg omg i wanna cry :/ so sweet

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

It's interesting that Harry's parents believe Harry doesn't have enough time to tutor and earn money but he has enough time to be in a sport that doesn't pay. It is also interesting that Harry doesn't like sports but once you tell him he will get a reward, a Varsity letter, and an achievement of being the youngest to get a varsity letter, now he is all in. It is also noteworthy that at first Harry doesn't like sports but when Dunc is ruining it for everyone Harry is very concerned and trying his best to perform his function.

[@dandiacal]

This is a nice little picture. It has a kind of late 70s JAMES AT 15 typed vibe that I think they were going for. Classic picture of this type that they don't make much anymore - unfortunately. I am not one of those who think all contemporary movies suck, in fact some are as great as any that have been made but they do tend to only deal in the darkest aspects of humanity and as such can be quite one sided. They err on the side of too much cynicism at times.
