Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

mandresgasa I remember when I saw for the first time this movie on Argentinian TV. I was only 10 y/o. About three days ago chatting with a friend we remembered this film. Thanks to Internet I had the chance to see it again."Melody" shows two kids (Melody and Daniel) that are dealing with school. Things happens and they became closest friends... and more. But their love is brilliantly exposed, focused on the "child" belief. Excellent songs of Bee Gees, stories that reminds our childhood, "love" as an "innocent" and good thing, you will not be disappointed with the locations, script, and the solid interaction between Daniel and Melody.A kind of movie that nowadays does not exist. What a beautiful piece of art.

Peter Hansen I saw this movie when I was nine. It had a huge impact on me and so did Tracy Hyde. I just bought it recently, and at 54 I still had the same feelings I did back then.The soundtrack is so powerful, and The mighty BeeGees are a huge credit to this moving Movie. I find it difficult not to weep when the 1st of May comes on. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome

surfaceartstudios I remember first seeing this film when I was a child not much older than the children portrayed in the film. I found it to be very enjoyable and refreshing especially considering that the story centered around kids and that the adults in the film were only secondary characters.The film was a low budget sparsely released project that wasn't an initial success, particularly here in the states which is a shame cause despite it's low budget and low distribution this lil' movie about a pre-teen romance was a gem of a film. My initial reason for seeing it was Jack Wild whom I recognized from the Sid & Marty Croft series; "H.R.Puff'n'stuff".I started watching the movie about these silly little kids in England and then I spotted the first shot of a young girl in the film, I didn't know her name at the time but she played Melody in the film a one Tracy Hyde making her film debut...this boy's heart literally melted for the first time in his young life-it was my first exposure and understanding of what true beauty is....timeless.I am in my mid 40's now, much like the stars of Melody and Tracy Hyde and am now an artist/illustrator this film was a key inspiration to me and to this day the lovely image of Tracy Hyde's Melody has lived on still inspiring after all these years.I look back at the film,which I have a copy of, and remember fondly and some not so fondly images of my younger days, what is was like to be a kid in the 70's, the friendships, trials and tribulations of school life and of that first love discovered-and in the end re-discovered.Melody wasn't a blockbuster, didn't win any awards that I know of and most of the world is ignorant of it's existence ,but it has something that most films sorely lack...it's special-it touched a cord in me and many others of my generation that still lives on achieving it's own special brand of immortality by instilling inspiration and memories of our lost youth.

tavm When I looked up YouTube last December, I was typing the heading "1971" and stumbled upon a Bee Gees song. Being a fan of theirs, I linked it and saw the titles of a movie called Melody. Three things intrigued me when I watched the beginning credits: 1) It starred Mark Lester and Jack Wild-Oliver Twist and The Artful Dodger from the musical Oliver! just three years before, 2) It was written by future director Alan Parker and produced by his later Midnight Express producer David Putnam (who was also executive producer of Parker's kid musical Bugsy Malone), and 3) Who is this Tracy Hyde that plays the title character? I then clicked this title on IMDb and looked at the forums section and it told me where I could view the whole movie: on Google Video. I've now seen it there and I wonder: how could I have not heard of this wonderful pre-teen love story before then? How wonderful to see Lester and Wild becoming friends at the beginning despite class differences and then having that tested when Daniel (Lester's character) sees Melody for the first time watching her through a window as she's taking ballet lessons. Of the adult supporting cast, I was wonderfully delighted to see Roy Kinnear, whom I recognized from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, as Melody's father who's quite funny telling his stories that occasionally please the other adults around the table but not Melody or Daniel. Wonderful use of Bee Gees songs throughout as well as Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's "Teach Your Children" for the climatic sequence. What naturalistic performances from the three young leads! For anyone interested in romance among the very young, I heartily recommended Melody.
