Editorial Reviews

Leo McCarey's classic tale of romance stars Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer as two strangers who fall in love on an ocean voyage. Charles Boyer is Michel Marnet, engaged to be married to Lois Clarke (Astrid Allwyn). Irene Dunne is Terry McKay, also engaged to be married, in this case to Kenneth Bradley (Lee Bowman). But when Michel and Terry meet aboard a ship, they fall instantly in love. In order to prove to themselves their love affair is not just a shipboard romance, they agree to meet six months hence on the top of the Empire State Building. If they still feel the same way about each other, they will bid adieu to their fiancees and start their affair anew. Six months later, they are still thinking about each other and proceed to their meeting at the Empire State Building. Michel awaits Terry's arrival, but Terry, on the way to their meeting, is involved in a terrible car accident, leaving her a cripple. Later, by a twist of fate, they are reunited and Michel vows to stay with Terry to help her walk again. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Wonderful Movie; but technically poorby Anonymous

May 15, 2005: Irene Dunne is spectacular in this movie. The musical numbers are striking and moving. And the children singing are just glorious. Unfortunately, the quality of the video is very poor....and there are even some momentary gaps. If I could find another supplier for this film, I'd buy it in an instant.

October 05, 2000: This film was made in 1939, same year as Gone With the Wind and the Wizard of Oz, and has consequently been ignored. The subtle humor of Irene Dunne is irresistable; Charles Boyer is charming. A much better film than its remakes: An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and the Beatty version of Love Affair. The little girl at the end with laryngitis is particularly cute: she's my mom! This is a great family film.
