Written by Delmer Daves, Donald Ogden Stewart and S.N. Behrman
Starring Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer and Maria Ouspenskaya
U.S., 1939
A painter and singer meet on a transatlantic cruise and begin to fall in love. The problem is, they’re both already engaged, and need some time to sort things out. They agree to meet in six months at the top of the Empire State Building, but on the fateful day disaster strikes and their meeting is postponed.
I saw the arguably more popular “An Affair to Remember” as a kid because it’s one of my mom’s favorite movies. I guess that’s the one people remember because it’s in color and has bigger stars – Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. But “Love Affair” has one thing its remake doesn’t have – a running time of only 87 minutes! So you get the whole romance, the songs, the sad parts, the happy parts, in a half hour less! That’s my kind of movie. Plus, I’ve rarely seen Maria Ouspenskaya outside a Universal horror film, so that was fun, too.
