Description: Gives students a basis for thinking clearly about real love and shows that mere conviction of love is not enough to insure lasting happiness. DIRECTOR: Ted Peshak; CAMERA: Dale Sharkey; WRITERS: Mel Waskin, George Tychsen, Hartley Pfeil; EDITOR: Ace Moore; AUTHORITY: Reuben Hill, Ph.D., Research Professor in Family Life, The University of North Carolina; NORA'S MOM: Rosemary KellyProduced by Coronet Films. Educational collaborator: Reuben Hill, Ph. D., Research Professor in Family Life, the University of North Carolina. Synopsis: The title of this film is a question all boys and girls must face usually under circumstances that make clear thinking difficult. Research studies indicate that most persons fall in love several times, and sometimes one may be in love with more than one person at the same time. The idea that instinct or some innate awareness will answer this question does not seem adequate. A young couple, apparently in love, double date with the boy's older brother and his fiance and find that there are many things that indicate mature love. Things such as similar interests, feeling at ease with one another, being proud of each other and then a mutual understanding of children, religion, marriage and money are all a part of mature love. , Nora returns from a date, moved by Jack's overtures of love but puzzled by her own feelings. Her mother, who had been in love several times before marrying, is able to distinguish better between the types of immature love that she describes to Nora. Jack's older brother, Bob, remembers how much in love Jack has also been with Betty, Mary, and Alice. On a double-date with Bob and his fiancee, Jack and Nora observe the seriousness of the engaged couple's conversation and the ease with which they discuss such fundamental issues as children, money, and religion.
