Love Affair

Love Affair is one of my all-time favourite movies. The title itself sends shivers down MacGyver's spine and the knowledge that I love that movie doesn't help one bit. He has tried to dampen my enthusiasm over the movie by pointing out to me that Warren Beatty has a reputation of having slept with over ten thousand women (12,775 to be more exact, give or take a couple, because who's counting?) And that is in spite the fact that he is married to the beautiful and talented Annette Bening in real life. Of course what Warren Beatty does in real life is irrelevant to the movie. So even if he slept with a hundred thousand women (good grief! ) I would still love the movie.

The appeal of the movie does not lie solely on the main characters' looks and popularity. It is a love story. And you know how much I love love stories, especially if they have happy endings. So how can you argue with that logic? (You can't. You just live with the fact that I love the movie.)

Love Affair is a remake of the Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr starrer An Affair to Remember. I think I watched An Affair to Remember a long time ago, way before Warren Beatty and Annette Bening played the roles of the couple that agreed to meet at the Empire State Building. I think I enjoyed that version. It was a good movie with a nice story. I liked it but I didn't love it.

So what makes Love Affair different? What makes it so special?

I must admit, aside from the fairytale story and the movie stars, it is the music.

Ennio Morricone is a genius. He adds a different dimension to the scenes of the movie. The music makes the movie more beautiful and more memorable.

Yes, yes, I am a romantic at heart.
