UW Cinematheque - Special Presentations and New Restorations

Dunne and Boyer are two classy strangers who meet aboard a luxury liner and fall in love. Both involved with other people, they make a promise to meet on New Year’s Eve at the Empire State Building…then fate intervenes. Spiritually and comically inspired, director McCarey later remade Love Affair as An Affair to Remember. Available for decades only in highly inferior public domain versions, this new restoration of McCarey’s superb original brings it's sparkle back.
