Editorial Review:
THEY AGREED TO PUT THEIR ROMANCE TO THE TEST. BUT FATE TESTED THAT LOVE MORE THAN THEY EVER COULD.
Description of Love Affair:
You can hear the big gears clank in this glossy, oh-so-watchable remake of the classic 1939 film (and the popular An Affair to Remember). Instead of updating the story with contemporary attitudes (as Warren Beatty did so successfully with Heaven Can Wait), this is a virtual carbon copy of the other films. The early scenes succeed as the two love birds (Beatty and real-life wife Annette Bening) banter with smart, fun talk. But the dramatics never really work in the modern era and romance doesn't blossom. Do we have to visit the Empire State Building again? Why couldn't the man be the victim? Everything looks wrapped for Christmas: a lovely score, nice use of old songs, rich designer clothes, familiar faces popping up everywhere, all surrounded by ace Conrad L. Hall's glowing, luscious light. It comes off like a big still-life, no zeal with two big exceptions: Garry Shandling's comic portrayal of lawyerhood as Beatty's agent and the reappearance of Katharine Hepburn. Seen for maybe 10 minutes, she packs more magic in her work than the entire rest of the movie. --Doug Thomas
Love Affair Reviews:
Love Affair 
2009-12-26 - Received the movie "Love Affair" in a very timely manner and have enjoyed the movie very much and also the music by Ennio Morricone.
Love Conquers All
2009-09-10 - Excellent movie! I enjoyed the chemistry between Mark Gambril (Warren Beatty)and Terry McKay (Annete Bening, his wife in real life) I did see the former one with Cary Grant and liked it too, but my favorite is this one. Superb acting! And. seeing Katharine Hepburn was truly a joy, a memorable appearance which I will never forget. True love wins over just settling for someone with
wealth and power. Love Affair is pure romance!
Love Affair
2009-08-28 - Audrey Hepburn - one of my idols - is such a treat in this movie. The chemistry between MacLaine and Benning is fabulous and of course we know how that turned out in real life! I just think this remake was done beautifully and I am sure this movie will get lots of "play time" at my house
Not the same as the Original 
2008-09-22 - I was expecting to better than the original since it was a remake and I love Anneth. However there's no sparks between her and beatty. It wasn't dramatic as the original. The love story between them was just bland.
One of the most romantic movie ever!
2007-12-21 - I've rented this movie in the 90s when I was in my high school and I've always wanted to collect it ever since but to no avail. Good thing for amazon, I've finally gotten it in DVD! :)
