Acting is quite good overall. The lines (jokes especially) aren't as dated as most movies in the same genre. However, the aspect of character development is virtually unmatched. It's a "must see" for anyone looking for a great love story. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

He is wonderfully, fantastic. You know someone is a great actor when they can make you cry with an expression of their face! D. Kerr is also great as a woman who is not immediatly swept away with Grant's charms and gives him a bit of a challange. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

There are elements of this movie that are completely unbelievable. The movie is slow and drags. The music makes the movie drag even longer. Even my wife hated it.

I love old movies. I think the music, script, costume and production design were terrible. I am sorry but this is how I feel. Perhaps we should have given it more time but I could not get past the constant music. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

True love on display in a beautiful way. Cary Grant is great and puts in a gutty performance to show some emotions that he usually doesn't have to deal with in his other movies. Deborah Kerr is fabulous in her understated take no guff, hometown girl way. It makes you remember that if you really find passion, and I mean a feeling, not an act, then it is worth the sacrifices that will lead to happiness in the end.

Read More This film is remarkable in that, like "Life is Beautiful," it seamlessly proceeds from comedy to poignant drama. Even after watching this movie multiple times, there are compelling elements that continue to haunt, like the theme song. It comes from an era when romance and true love could be conveyed on-screen without vulgarity or explicit scenes. Sadly, those days are gone, but we can "remember" this affair fondly.

The locations were beautiful. It didn't seem realistic that a guy as good looking as Clark Gable would even be interested in someone like Deborah Kerr. I didn't like her at all in this movie, she just seemed too plain for him. I think a better choice for a woman from this era would have been Maureen O'Hara, she is more striking and captivating.
