Features: DVD
They're engaged, but not to each other. So Mike Gambril and Terry McKay agree to put their sudden love to the test. They'll break off all contact, then reunite in three months atop the Empire State Building if their love is still strong. But fate will test their love more than Mike and Terry ever could. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening of Bugsy catch romantic lighting again in Love Affair, an irresistible blend of light comedy and passionate ardor that updates the beloved screen story previously filmed in 1939 and 1957. It's "a big, handsome dollop of stardust" (Jay Carr, The Boston Globe) and sparkling performances from Katharine Hepburn and Garry Shandling as well as the swirling music of Ennio Morricone add to the glittery mix. Love Affair is your rendezvous for joy, tears and radiant starpower.
"Wonderful! Don't miss this!" Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
"There are scenes in the movie...that are so radiant your jaw drops open." Roger Ebert
Editor's Note
A remake of LOVE AFFAIR (1939) and AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (1957), this big-budget love story finds two people falling in love just when they have given up looking for it, tragically promising to meet each other atop the Empire State Building when they are free of their loveless relationships. Hepburn cameos as a seraphic mother figure who blesses their impulsive union.
Plot Summary

But when an accident leaves Terry crippled, the chances of their meeting again is suddenly in doubt.

"...There are scenes in the movie -- including Beatty and Bening walking across a vast, lush green meadow -- that are so radiant your jaw drops open. It's as if nature itself is a co-conspirator in the romance..." 10/21/1994 p.33Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
Hepburn's scenes steal, and almost stop, the show... the magnificent spirit is still there, and the romantic fire, and she's right for this eccentric old woman... the movies toys [with us] in delicately written dialogue that allows them to say, and not say, everything that needs to be said, and needs not to be said. - Roger Ebert
