Along with <i>Brief Encounter</i>, it is one of my favorite "mature" love stories (meaning a love story involving grown up people that have already walked around the block once or twice). <br /><br />If you stop and think about it, I don't think a film like this could be made anymore. With all films slanted so heavily to the youth market, they would end up casting twenty-somethings in the leads and destroying the whole thing. <br /><br />After all, who today could ever measure up to either Cary Grant or Deborah Kerr? Anyone? -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-20974229791246587182009-10-04T00:13:42.015+02:002009-10-04T00:13:42.015+02:00Mrs. Bee:

My grandmother and -father came by a couple of days ago with home made dandelion wine (18%!) that I have taken in small doses every day since now - the bottle is almost empty now! Anyway, that was a perfect supplement to a nice movie!<br /><br />Kim:<br />I haven't seen House Boat yet, regretfully. I first fell in love with Cary in The Philadelphia Story, and for every movie I've seen him in since my devotion has just grown deeper. What a gentleman.<br /><br />Kate G:<br />Haha, but think - if she just could have sent a message like "Hi! Sorry I couldn't meet you, I got hit by a car. See ya! <3" there wouldn't have been any misunderstandings! ;)<br /><br />I've had the movie for quite a while, but for some reason never saw it until you made the recommendation - so thank you!<br /><br />Cary Grant was that kind of a man who pulled off the mature man look - I think he was more handsome in his 50's and 60's than in his early 30's!<br /><br />Aah, now I need to see Love Affair too!Lolita of the Classicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596876234508882958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-81278223585457890722009-10-03T23:52:39.125+02:002009-10-03T23:52:39.125+02:00If they only had had cell phones then... - LOL!
I...If they only had had cell phones then... - LOL!<br /><br />I'm so glad you watched this!! It's definitely one of my favorites-- that scene when he sees the painting hanging up just makes my heart jump every time I see it. <br /><br />I agree, too- Cary Grant definitely got better with age! His 50's movies are my favorites :)<br /><br />I like the songs in the first film better (Love Affair) I'm not really fond of the 1950's kids, they're a little too bubbly and clean cut. The 1930's kids were more scrappy :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-67672449245147968932009-10-03T22:33:26.607+02:002009-10-03T22:33:26.607+02:00This was my second Cary Grant movie (the first bei...This was my second Cary Grant movie (the first being House Boat)and this is what made me a fan. The last scene in the movie always gets to me.<br /><br />I still haven't seen Love Affair either but I plan too because I love Irene Dunne. Even though I like Deborah Kerr a lot part of me regrets Cary & Irene couldn't have done this movie together since they had such amazing chemistry in the 3 films they did do together.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798552679871435314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-16839116551802284402009-10-03T22:26:45.553+02:002009-10-03T22:26:45.553+02:00Ah...class,elegance, manners..the handsome voice o...Ah...class,elegance, manners..the handsome voice of Cary Grant..yes I agree with your wonderful assesment of this timeless movie...remake or not!!<br />I choose a blankie and a glass of brandy for my viewing pleasure :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-6657451611187422702009-10-03T21:55:42.073+02:002009-10-03T21:55:42.073+02:00I LOVE this movie X)I LOVE this movie X)Diana.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08665119154721425802noreply@blogger.com
