The one that started it all

This is the wonderful rendition of what we most often think of as starting with "An Affair To Remember". This is the original, with many of it's scenes and even it's dialogue repeated in "An Affair To Remember" I owned this VHS and played it until it became unplayable. I recently purchased a used copy of the DVD and it had a lot of noise in the background toward the end. This, however, was on the one I purchased and I doubt it would appear on all discs available. Anyone who loves "Sleepless In Seattle" and "An Affair To Remember" should own "Love Affair". It is a true gem and draws a tear at the end as love is found despite it all.

Fine film, but...

This is a Hollywood classic, every bit as good as the other [...] reviewers contend. BUT the picture on the DVD made in Canada by Madacy Entertainment Group is decidedly mediocre. It hasn't been technically enhanced, and there are occasional blotches and sound difficulties. Buy it; the price is right. But then wait for a better DVD to come along.

STILL THE BEST!

As much as I admire Cary Grant for his presence and easy charm, he lacks the worldliness and dramatic depth of Charles Boyer whom I earlier admired in 'Algiers.' He's more graceful and expressive and his consumate Frenchness makes the contrast between he and Dunne all the more interesting and romantic. As for Irene Dunne, she's so effervescent compared to Kerr. Kerr seemed somewhat brittle for all her sincereity and warmth.

Better than A Love Affair to Remember

This film preceeded A Love Affair to Remember. It has the same director and (almost) the same script; but the acting is better! Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne give excellent performances. So, if you are a devotee of the Cary Grant and Debra Kerr version, give this one a try. It is a treat!

Good Movie

This is a good movie, maybe not a good as the remake with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, but still worth watching.
