Amazon.com: You can hear the big gears clank in this glossy, oh-so-watchable remake of the classic 1939 film (and the popular An Affair to Remember). Instead of updating the story with contemporary attitudes (as Warren Beatty did so successfully with Heaven Can Wait), this is a virtual carbon copy of the other films. The early scenes succeed as the two love birds (Beatty and real-life wife Annette Bening) banter with smart, fun talk. But the dramatics never really work in the modern era and romance doesn't blossom. Do we have to visit the Empire State Building again? Why couldn't the man be the victim? Everything looks wrapped for Christmas: a lovely score, nice use of old songs, rich designer clothes, familiar faces popping up everywhere, all surrounded by ace Conrad L. Hall's glowing, luscious light. It comes off like a big still-life, no zeal with two big exceptions: Garry Shandling's comic portrayal of lawyerhood as Beatty's agent and the reappearance of Katharine Hepburn. Seen for maybe 10 minutes, she packs more magic in her work than the entire rest of the movie. --Doug Thomas
One of the most romantic movie ever! I've rented this movie in the 90s when I was in my high school and I've always wanted to collect it ever since but to no avail. Good thing for amazon, I've finally gotten it in DVD! :)
Love Affair (movie) having worked on this film at 'Warners' I was pleased to have located a source for the copy so as to make it part of my film library. The parcel was well wrapped and shipped on time.... Thank you !! Al Manzer
Love this movie A very clean chick flick. Two actors worth seeing together. Wish they would get together more often! Love is in the air on a cruise ship. Famous man finds shy girl and they fall in love. Only one problem...they both have significant others! To prove this was meant to be the decide that they will meet back up in six months if they still feel the same about each other. Tragedy happens and love has to come to the rescue in order to get these back together!
LOVE AFFAIR - JUST ANOTHER UPDATED CLASSIC THAT DIDN'T WORK Many of the reviews I read felt strongly in favor of this remake, but some of the people had not seen "An Affair to Remember". Cary Grant & Deborah Kerr had the spark so lacking in this "Love Affair" remake. The original "Love Affair" with (forgive me, I can only remember Irene Dunne as Terry, and my opinion that film was not as good as this "Love Affair", however. I missed hearing the original scoring of "An Affair to Remember", but Annette Benning's music with the children was lovely.
As most of the reviews that stated they were in favor of "An Affair...", I missed the climactic ending with Cary Grant's reactions, and also the shipboard scene where he want's to be "worthy of her love".
I don't wish to underrate or "dump" on this film, but I wish all reviewers would watch the Grant/Kerr version just once. I believe they will become "old movie buffs" too. Thanks for reading my review.
i love the original but it was still romantic This was so romantic, i love the original so much bascially i love them both. I think some old school might only stick to the original but for my generation i think being 24 they were both acceptible..
