Now and Forever is a 1956 British drama film directed by Mario Zampi and starring Janette Scott, Vernon Gray and Kay Walsh.

[4] The screenplay concerns an upper-class girl who becomes romantically involved with a garage mechanic, and they head for Gretna Green to elope.

Set in a market town in central England, Janette Grant is the 17-year-old daughter of a wealthy, divorced couple who's lonely as her father rarely visits and her mother never finds time for her.

Expecting her mother to take her and give her support, Janette is upset that she decides to participate in a golf club competition as the slot just opened up.

In the meantime, her teacher catches her writing him a love note but the principal decides it's unnecessary to warn Janette's mother.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A naive and unabashedly contrived story for the 'older' schoolgirl, played with a certain amount of charm by the young couple, Janette Scott and Vernon Gray.

On their journey, however, they are required to meet most of the familiar British "cameo"performers (David Kossoff's pawnbroker, Marjorie Rhodes's farmer's wife, Ronald Squire's waiter, etc.

"[5] Kine Weekly wrote: "The picture subtly demolishes social barriers as its tender, yet spirited, love story unfolds and treats its sex angle so delicately that not even the scene showing the young unmarried couple sharing a bedroom places its "U" certificate in jeopardy.

"[6] Variety wrote: "Zampi's direction astutely focuses on the young couple and allows the attractive rural setting to make a fitting background.

Miss Scott, a young actress of some talent, plays the schoolgirl with a persuasive charm while Vernon Gray typifies the earnest, serious-minded youth.

Janette Scott and Vernon Gray...Though the film seems flat and obvious when viewed on television, it truly comes to life before a large and appreciative moviehouse audience.
