Amazon.co.uk Review

Get out your handkerchiefs for this four-star weepie, a 1957 remake of the 1939 Love Affair, directed by Leo McCarey, who also made the original. Grant and Kerr are strangers on an ocean liner, involved with other people, but who can't resist each other for a shipboard romance. They decide to test whether this is the real thing by agreeing to split up, then meet in six months atop the Empire State Building. Is there anyone who can resist that setup or the tragic romantic mishap that nearly splits them up? Can you keep dry eyes during the famous finale? Some prefer the original (with Charles Boyer); practically no one liked the underrated 1994 remake with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. While occasionally a shade slow, this one soars on Grant's charm and Kerr's noble suffering. --Marshall Fine


Synopsis

In this legendary tearjerker, the world's most eligible bachelor (Cary Grant) is set to marry an heiress. But unfortunately for his bride-to-be, while he's travelling alone on a luxury liner he meets Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) and realises he's engaged to the wrong woman--and she's engaged to the wrong man. They finally agree to spend six months apart; if they still love each other at the end of that time, they will reunite at the top of the Empire State Building. But the path of true love does not always run smooth, and tragedy threatens to tear the couple apart. Leo McCarey directed both the original (LOVE AFFAIR) and this remake, and viewers often amiably battle over which film is the more touching. This much-loved film features the Academy Award-nominated title song and a splendid supporting cast.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uneven classic, 5 April 2008
By Greshon (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Cary Grant's charm and charisma could make almost anything watchable, but this is a very good film with good, snappy dialogue. Still, the second 'weepie' half is not as good as the wise-cracking ocean liner-set first half, and there's far too much singing by those sickly children, which has me contantly reaching for the remote to turn the volume down.

Also, that bit where they leave the old (but how much older than Grant!?) grandmother in Europe, and you just know that this is going to be the last time they see her, is much more sad than the tragic accident and failed meeting atop the Empire State that it precipitates. When Kerr starts humming to the old lady's piano I started to cringe, but the scene turns into something quite touching, probably due to the superb, subtle perfomances from all three actors in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars an affair to remember, 29 Jul 2009
By E. Brooker "nostalgia" (essex england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is definitely one for the "girls". I bought this copy for my wife and as with previous vhs copies(not watched for a while) she thoroughly enjoyed being "weepy eyed" watching it. It is now doing the rounds of her"female gang" - all in their late 60's who remember seeing the original screenings whilst in their "romantic teens".
It is possible it returned "stars to their eyes"
Go on buy it for your girl friend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bit soppy
I enjoyed this film, mainly becasue of the actors and actress. Good to watch before watching Sleepless in Seattle. Worth watching, but a bit of it a bit soppy.

5.0 out of 5 stars But...
Wonderful film if you enjoy traditional romantic comedy. Italian scenes with the old woman are very touching despite the religious flummery. Read more
