Konterr Brilliant and touching

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

haniaelrawy Charles Boyer is really my favorite leading actor .His performance in the final scene was so touching and impressive.He tried to suppress his anger through smiling and joking but we still feel bitterness in the tone of his voice and deep grief in his eyes. Amazingly he could express his frustration without saying one word of abuse to his lover. I think that no other star in the history of world cinema can ever have such a genuine and subtle performance. when Boyer saw the painting of Terry and realised the whole truth ,his face could reveal the deep sense of shame and regret without uttering one word. In fact Charles Boyer's ability to perform the role of a sincere and dedicated lover is captivating and insuperable. In the remake An Affair To Remember,the effect was less intensive and Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne were really superior and more impressive and there is some differences between the original and the remake.Grant's reaction on seeing Terry's painting was not as deep and impressive as that of Boyer;Grant in the final scene seemed rather angry and investigating Terry in an agressive way and she was nearly humiliated.Boyer on the contrary was quite decent and gentle without hurting his lover's feelings.When Grant's grandmother refers to her hands saying she can't play on the piano,Grant only smiles while holding her hands.Boyer showed deep love and respect when he gently kissed her hands.

richard-1787 The first half of this movie, through the arrival of the steamship in New York, is as good as it gets. Dunne and Boyer are marvelous as the young individuals who discover that, though they are engaged to others, they love each other. Maria Ouspenskaya gives a touching performance as Boyer's grandmother. (Why they are speaking French on Madeira I have no idea, but I guess it doesn't matter.) Once they arrive in New York and Dunne is injured in a car accident the movie seems to lose its focus, however. It's not bad, but it lacks the power it had in the first part.The last scene, however, when Boyer's character, without uttering a word, realizes that Dunne's character cannot walk, is very moving, as is the last several minutes.I haven't seen the remake, An Affair to Remember, in a long time, so I can't compare them. But this is definitely A Movie to Watch.

iamyuno2 (If I could have given this an 8.5 star review I would have. But it's up there as one of the best.) If you're a romantic and love fine acting, few films beat the story and acting in this fine film. And you'll never forget it - which is, of course, the sign of a great film. One reason it is so moving is it demonstrates the best in humanity and loving people, with a subtlety and nuance that is rarely seen in films - certainly since the '30s and '40s. And if you are not yet a fan of Charles Boyer, you will be after this film. And...Irene Dunne - to say this is one of her finest movies is really saying something because she put in some really stellar performances in film. If you're not crying at the end, like a baby, you don't have a heart! What a great great story - and so unique. Although it was remade later (at least twice that I know of) - and An Affair To Remember with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr was quite good - this is the original version and the very best telling of the story. This defines true romance and love!!!

gkeith_1 My observations: Scotty Beckett and Maria Ouspenskaya both in this movie. I had seen them in "Kings Row", again with Ouspenskaya as the grandmother but with Scotty as the grandson. I like them in both movies.I like Irene Dunne in "Show Boat" and "Love Affair". She was lovely, and wonderful singer.Charles Boyer; what can I say? He always appeared so cultured and debonair.Ouspenskaya was the first teacher of Stanislavki in this country. She taught Lee Strasberg. Her teacher was Konstantin Stanislavski himself.
