Editorial Review:
When you marry someone, you promise to love that person forever - no matter what may occur. But no one would expect to test that promise only moments after exchanging marriage vows. Peter (Alec Baldwin) and Rita (Meg Ryan) follow their whirlwind six-week courtship with a storybook wedding. After the ceremony, a mysterious elderly man (Sydney Walker) appears and asks if he may kiss the bride. It is this kiss that sends the two young lovers on a magical journey they will never forget.
Description of Prelude to a Kiss:
Alec Baldwin reprises a role he originated in Craig Lucas's off-Broadway smash (which later had a Broadway run without him) in this touchingly romantic, funny, and underrated fantasy. He falls for a woman (Meg Ryan) at first sight and marries her, but, on their wedding day, an elderly stranger wanders into the reception, kisses the bride, and trades bodies with her. Once Baldwin figures out that something is amiss with the Mrs., he must track down the old man, in whom resides the spirit of his true love. This is a beautiful allegory about the nature of love and the commitment to give oneself in sickness and health, for better or worse, to achieve a true meeting of the spirits. Prelude to a Kiss was directed with a light touch by the late Norman Rene, with strong performances by Baldwin and Ryan. --Marshall Fine

Music Sound Track for Prelude to a Kiss 
2009-05-18 - Great melodies, in particular the harmonica/string selections. Seller had super price for an excellent CD. Arrived in short time from ordering.
GREAT MOVIE
2008-09-23 - GREAT MOVIE. WATCH IT OVER AND OVER THROUGH THE YEARS AND SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT EACH TIME.
Not so good......... 
2008-07-23 - If you have nothing better to watch then you might be able to justify your time spent on this one. Both main actors are rather young and haven't fully developed their acting skills at this point. Actually, Patty Duke (Rita's mother) gave the best performance. It's OK - but........
Hope this makes you think!
2008-02-16 - I liked this movie, a valuable message wrapped up in a good story line and hey, Meg Ryan and Alec Baldwin ... nice. However, I wish the guy she 'melded with' had been cast differently (don't know his name) - good actor, but no SPARK.
