For Love Alone is a 1986 Australian film written and directed by Stephen Wallace and based on Christina Stead's 1945 novel of the same name.

It stars Helen Buday, Hugo Weaving, Sam Neill and Naomi Watts in her film debut.

[3] In the 1930s, Teresa (Buday) is a naive young woman dealing with the oppressive attitudes of society and her father's austere ways.

Quick encourages the affair, hoping that Teresa will come to realize that there's more to true love than mere sexual impulsivity.

Geneviève Picot was tentatively cast in the lead role but it took two years to raise the money by which time it was felt she was too old so she was replaced by Helen Buday, who had only made one film previously.
