The insight that "tact" animates the work of Leo McCarey opened a line of curiosity in my mind -- are there other directors or authors, specific films or books that shine in their delight in and instruction of the virtues of communication? Not technical manuals on building confidence and resolving conflict or what-not, but things that show true wisdom and experience in the mind behind them, like this movie?
My first time to see this - yes, it was wonderful, and I was especially captivated by the beauty and wisdom of the grandmother. What a feminine power in her tranquil piety.
I’ll put “Love Affair” on the top of my watch list. I’ve seen an “Affair to Remember” more times than I can count, so hopefully it won’t color my reaction. Irene Dunne is one of my all time favorite actresses so that will probably work in “Love Affair”’s favor.
Our first time viewing. What a lovely film.

I had forgotten about this first movie. I think you are right it was the best.
