1. Love Affair followed by An Affair To Remember?

I don't think that my tear ducts can take it!

2. A little clip from Love Affair.

One of my clients got seriously into this song...

3. A personal comparison.... (spoilers for Love Affair/An Affair to Remember)

I've watched the two movies back to back, and tried my best to judge the two in an unbiased manner.

But I still prefer the Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr version. There is more humor, more apparent feeling between the two. And at the end, when the Michel/Nicky character looks at the portrait, Charles Boyer seems surprised but rather cold. Cary Grant looks like he's been stabbed in the heart. I believe the relationship between Grant and Kerr much more than the one between Boyer and Dunne.

What about the rest of you hopeless romantics?

[CBHagman]

4. Alas, I've never had a chance to do a side-by-side comparison!

But the Kerr-Grant version is just devastatingly romantic, sometimes subtly so, as in the scene where a kiss is implied but not shown, just by Kerr pausing on the steps...

[Matilda]

5. I've never seen the Boyer/Dunne version,

but it'd be hard to go past Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr - there was great chemistry between them, and one could believe
they really liked each other.

And I'm afraid I've never been a great fan of Irene Dunne - just something missing for me. And she would insist on
singing, and although she hit all the notes, her voice was very, very small and I just wish somebody had told her
to put a sock in it ...
