Rating: 5/5 --
Outstanding first version of An Affair to Remember. Superior on all counts.

...This comic/romantic weeper is a fixture on lists of 1939's best movies...
USA Today
Rating: A --
Meticulously directed by Leo McCarey and splendidly acted by Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne, this is the first and best screen version of the romantic drama that McCarey himself remade in 1957 with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, and Warren Beatty in 1994.

Product Description:
The magic of a shipboard romance charms a Frenchman and American woman (Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne, respectively) into each other's arms, but promises made to other people and the notoriously fleeting nature of affairs convince the couple to part ways for six months and meet again atop the Empire State Building to see if their love is a lasting one. Although their hearts remain true, an accident and a misunderstanding might lead to heartbreak.
LOVE AFFAIR was written, directed, and produced by Leo McCarey as his first major foray into drama after a successful directorial career in comedies, including projects with the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy. McCarey remade LOVE AFFAIR almost 20 years later as the better-known AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as the star-crossed couple. Film buffs continue to debate which film is the better, though viewers of either will be swept up by the timeless romance captured so effortlessly--twice!--by McCarey and his delightfully well-matched actors.
