A couple falls in love and agrees to meet in six months at the Empire State Building - but will it happen? This is a remake of "Love Affair" (1939) and a strong inspiration for "Sleepless in Seattle". Interestingly, both this film and "Love Affair" were directed by Leo McCarey and both were strong Oscar films. Apparently a director can make a film twice and be honored both times! Cary Grant makes a decent lead, and certainly had the charm and charisma to be the romantic actor type. But it is not a role I prefer for him. Indeed, he is so much stronger in madcap comedies, when strange things happen. Here there is just no soul... it may as well be a modern romantic comedy, which is not a compliment.
