More than a little I am a sentimental fool, and will find tears in my eyes often when seeing a movie or hearing a song nicely done about gentle and decent love.

I just finished watching "Love Affair" (1994).

Engaged to others, a man (Warren Beatty) and a woman (Annette Bening) on a plane plan to meet again three months later atop the Empire State Building. Of course this movie was a take off of "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. I love Annette Bening and appreciate Warren.

This movie, "Love Affair" used all the standard beautiful cliches, but I still was left with a gentle love for what I had just seen. Beatty and Bening outdid Grant and Kerr.

Katherine Hepburn had a sweet scene in the movie as Beatty's character's aunt. I didn't really mean to see the movie, as I just flicked on the tv and voila it was about fifteen minutes into the movie. I'm glad I saw it. If you like sentimental movies, as I said with a lot of the cliches and beautiful set design this is a movie to see.

Annette and Warren make a wonderful couple ................ let's leave the politics aside.

Anyhow I thought I'd mention this sweet movie as long as "movie scripts" were mentioned.

God, I feel so strangely odd being a guy who played athletics all his life, has a competitive nature to not-a-small degree, yet is extremely sentimental and gentle. During the commercial breaks of the movie (on AMC), I turned to CNN where they were doing a "bio" of Jesus. I was feeling Jesus. It's been a good night........... and the cats are purring.

I just read a reviewer of the movie who commented:

.

Beautiful film with great actors. Very moving, emotional and touching! Shows that everyone can change. Apparently, Beatty's life changed meeting Annette - in the film too. Katherine Hepburn is fantastic, a great actress and a great woman. Love Affair is not just about a love affair, it is a love story, a great love that changes your life, an unconditional unselfish love that puts the other first.

It truly is a wonderful love story that has the moves, the light, the emotion, the music... "I love watching you move" - just one of the great lines that don't go away and become part of our own lines. I have watched it over and over and every single time I feel the same emotions. The scenery is also wonderful from the beautiful island shoots to central park in autumn.

Good night, Mrs Callabash.
