Distributors should take note!!More of PAT Boones Movie Classics from the 50's and 60's should hopefully be released on DVD such as the classic"April Love".I mean Elvis should not get all the Glory!!

April Love was a fantastic movie for both Pat Boone and Shirley Jones, who both sing absolutely wonderful. As much as I loved Elvis among other great singers, why is it most (if not all) of his movies have been released and only a few for Pat Boone or Shirley Jones. April Love should have been released a long time before now for dvd purchase, along with Bernadine. What the heck is the problem? Who is not paying attention to the desires of the public? Somebody out there give us a break! You never even see them on tv! Get moving and make them available now if not yesterday.

What is the problem for the delay in releasing a 20TH CENTURY FOX PAT BOONE COLLECTION: BERNADINE, APRIL LOVE, MARDI GRAS, ALL HANDS ON DECK please???

Ninety nine percent of Elvis' films are available and much enjoyed.

However, and whilst JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and the SIXTIES' remake of STATE FAIR are already available, Mr Boone's own popularity with older film fans in respect of the four additional titles deserves stronger respect than his former Studio appears to give him.

Well overdue for a DVD release FOX Archivists, so please give us a happy and well appreciated surprise!

Here's hoping anyway.

I just bought the soundtrack for "April Love" that also includes the soundtrack for "Tammy". Hopefully this is a sign that the DVD of "April Love" will be forthcoming soon. The Tammy movies are on DVD and several Troy Donahue movies are on DVD now. I think it is past time for "April Love" to be released on DVD.

In "April Love", Pat Boone plays a juvenile delinquent (LOL WAY against type, huh?) who is sent to his uncle's farm in the country to get him away from bad influences. There he meets a pair of sisters (one played by Shirley Jones) whose father owns a large stable for trotters. The uncle used to run such an operation, but let his business and his life run down after the death of his son in the Korean War.

The movie is filled with delightful slice of life moments, as well as the entertaining and uplifting story of Pat Boone's character growing up through his association with the one trotter his uncle has left. The movie is a pleasant journey through the summer of the young group of friends. Crises are on the small and quickly resolved side, and the major crisis is very amusingly resolved through a display of spunk.

Pat and Shirley both sing, which makes the movie a pleasure all by itself. The title song, "April Love", was a big hit for Boone in the 50s. This is the kind of movie were you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the very pleasant relationships and story. Highly recommended.

This is a great movie. In fact it was on TV this morning and after enjoying it yet again, I wondered what the hold up is on the release to DVD. I signed up to be notified of its release at least a year ago and yet it is still unavailable. The music is great in the movie; Pat Boone is terribly handsome and a true heartbreaker when he sings "April Love", Shirley Jones is gorgeous, and the other actors are great as well. It is a heartwarming film that will give you some chuckles and also bring a tear to your eye. Sure wish whomever is holding it up would get it together.

I AGREE WITH ALL OTHER INTERESTED PEOPLE WHO WANT "APRIL lOVE" TO COME TO DVD. IT IS TIME FOR IT TO BE RELEASED. SHIRLY JONES HAS MENTIONED IT IN HER COMENTARYS FOR "OKLAHOMA" AND "CAROUSEL". ANOTHER RELEASE THAT HAS TO BE RELEASED IS "THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE FATHERS" NEEDS TO COME ALSO TO DVD.

i have been waiting for years now so where in the heck is this movie and more of his movies.????????????

Thought you would like to know that APRIL LOVE is finally being released by 20th Century Fox on DVD this winter.
It will be a limited release of 3000 copies only.Check out SCREEN ARCHIVES ENTERTAINMENT website for more info.

Just to assure you that I too agree with all those waiting and now it's 2010! I just added "April Love" to my Ipod. And if that doesnt' indicate this film stands the test of time and the interest continues since 1957, I don't know what would. It's well past time - please release it!
