synopsis

An Italian playboy and a beautiful cabaret singer fall madly in love during a voyage on a cruise ship. But he is engaged, and she is set to marry a wealthy Texan. To test their sudden love, they decide to part ways and agree to meet six months later at the top of the Empire State Building…

McCarey confère, par l’utilisation subtile du Cinémascope et des couleurs, une douce flamboyance à la rencontre drôle et émouvante entre Cary Grant et Deborah Kerr. Préparez vos mouchoirs (en dentelle, de préférence).

Critikat.com

A remake by Leo McCarey of his own 1939 classic Love Affair, the film progresses as a graceful switch from romantic comedy to weepie melodrama, reflecting the director’s deep-rooted belief in the intricate bond between laughter and tears.
