NYPL Cinema Scene Film Screening: “Love Affair” (1939)

“Love Affair” is a classic romantic drama set against the backdrop of New York City.

The film follows the story of Terry McKay, a charming and sophisticated woman, and Steve, a down-to-earth, good-hearted man, who are both in unhappy marriages. They meet unexpectedly on a transatlantic cruise and are instantly drawn to each other.

Their connection is passionate and intense, but their affair is complicated by their existing commitments. Terry, a famous actress, fears that her career will suffer if her relationship is revealed, while Steve is torn between his love for Terry and his sense of duty to his family.

As they navigate their forbidden romance, Terry and Steve face pressure from their respective spouses and the judgment of society. They are forced to make difficult choices and grapple with the consequences of their actions. Their love for each other is tested as they fight to keep their affair a secret and find happiness in a world where love is often intertwined with sacrifice.

“Love Affair” is a timeless story of love, longing, and the challenges of finding happiness in a world that often gets in the way. The film is known for its beautiful cinematography, its memorable score, and the chemistry between its stars, Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer.
