Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne in Love Affair (1939)
One of the greatest romance movies from the golden age of Hollywood. Charles Boyer stars as French playboy Michel who falls in love with an American woman (Irene Dunn) while travelling aboard a ship. They agree to meet again in 6 months time but will a series of accidents stop them from making their planned rendez-vous.
Directed by Leo McCarey, this 1939 romantic classic is the first and best version of the old warhorse of a fateful shipboard romance between an aimless playboy and a nightclub singer, both engaged but appearing to be destined to reunite on the top floor of the Empire State Building.
The elaborate, shot-for-shot 1957 remake again directed by McCarey with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is much better known, and Warren Beatty even saw fit to remake it yet again with his wife Annette Bening for a 1994 update featuring an 87-year old Katharine Hepburn in her last film role.
