Love Affair (1939) - It was nearest thing to heaven ! 

Me too ❤️

Me three

Yes everytime

Same😢

Me four!

Thank you! Such relief for a taste of common sense.

It's really infantile when people treat new versions of good movies, or new renditions of songs, as if it were a crime. Good scripts and music DESERVE to be refreshed. Besides, no one is forcing any of those childish people to see or hear the new ones.

I liked Grant/Kerr. The only thing I preferred in the early version was how the director showed the painting. It was bigger and more important looking. That's a minor point, though.I also liked the way Kerr delivered her lines better when she said the famous line.

But Charles is a far better actor. The way he reacts to the painting is far better than Cary's presentational approach.

Hugo Friedhoffer deserves crazy-credit for the scoring of the '57 version.

Comparing Pitt and Boyer is like comparing bologna to prime rib!

I have not seen this version but I don't think it would come close to "An affair to remember."

judith bormann it comes close if you consider it was made some 30 years earlier. grant and kerr are PERFECT.

Plus the scene where Grant kisses Kerr's hand...he kisses her so tenderly and the look on her face is priceless. I like how she keeps her hand slightly extended even as Grant is walking away from her.

No way. This is one of the most fantastic moments in cinematic history. And I LOVE Cary Grant.

No way

If you haven't noticed, since this version is public domain you can find the full movie all over RU-vid! I know it's been a couple months since you posted this comment so I'm assuming you may have found this out. :) I love this version so much and prefer it to An Affair to Remember.

Meredith Riggs:)

Meredith Riggs I agree, and think it is better than "An Affair to Remember", which was also terrific. I believe the chemistry between Dunne and Boyer, is stronger than between Kerr and Grant. Btw, I just saw "Love Affair" (much of the film on tv) and also watched this clip more than once, and I still don't see how Boyer realizes her inability to walk in this final scene, as there appears to be no wheelchair, or other apparatus which would "reveal" her condition (although the film emphasizes him looking at a painting of her, as if that is a telltale clue) Could you explain to me how Boyer figures it out?

goldenoldiesPete He puts two and two together when he sees the painting in her room because he was told by the man who sold the painting that he sold it to a lady who was poor and he hesitates when he's about to say that she also couldn't walk. I think he then realizes it, especially since there were subtle signs, like how she didn't get up from the couch when he first came in. He wanted to sit beside her but she didn't move, since she was obviously paralyzed. :)

Meredith Riggs Thanks for the (very clear) explanation.

maj1216 agreed!!!! I fell in love with the Cary Grant / Kerr version as a kid. I LOVE Cary Grant. But when I saw this one, just wow. It is incredible. Irene Dunne is one of my absolute favorites. Her voice was superb. Now I can’t even watch the Grant/Kerr version. They come off as clumsy and awkward. Trivia: same director for both movies, 19 years apart. And of course Irene Dunne and Cary Grant starred together in so many early movies. They were great together.

@@vkaygee wow! same director for both versions? amazing.

Cmon man how could you not like Kerr?

@@vkaygee they were neither clumsy nor awkward

I watched all three versions. And none were as beautiful as this one from 1939. I love the chemistry between Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer.

ReneeDeborah it was directed by the same person.

Yes.Is better.👍🌹🌿🌹🌿

@@isammolina4842 nope

@@isammolina4842 Absolutely best ❤️🌹

No or yes I'm not sure.. I think this is the second version because there is a first version from no talkie years

tilda kovach no way. I’m a huge Cary Grant fan and I actually saw his version first. but compared to this, he and Kerr were clumsy and unbelievable. This version cannot be topped.

His girl Friday was the best though! Come on Grant and Russell! What a duo.

The Philadelphia story > high society (I preferred the first)

what are your first two favourite 'meeting at the top of the Empire State Building' movies?

Thank you sincerity.😊Agree whit you.

Tom Hanks is an excellent actor, but he doesn't rival the sexiness & elegance of Grant.
