Directed by Leo McCarey, this 1939 romantic classic is the first and best version of the old warhorse of a fateful shipboard romance between an aimless playboy and a nightclub singer, both engaged but appearing to be destined to reunite on the top floor of the Empire State Building.
The elaborate, shot-for-shot 1957 remake again directed by McCarey with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is much better known, and Warren Beatty even saw fit to remake it yet again with his wife Annette Bening for a 1994 update featuring an 87-year old Katharine Hepburn in her last film role.
Date : 1939
Cast : Irene Dunne as Terry McKay
Charles Boyer as Michel Marnet
Maria Ouspenskaya as Grandmother Janou
Lee Bowman as Kenneth Bradley
Astrid Allwyn as Lois Clarke
Maurice Moscovitch as Maurice Cobert, art dealer
