    It's easy to understand this film's influence on movies such as Sleepless in Seattle. My only real gripe: The ending's too abrupt. Fair warning: If you see this, have the tissues handy just in case.

    This may be my favorite Irene Dunne. She's a smart actress, and th

    ...( read more)at intelligence shines through here. Yeah, Charles Boyer never did much for me either, but he's good enough here, and it's Dunne's show anyway. I echo the sentiments of swedishsouffle: It is appalling that Irene Dunne never won an Oscar.

    Old but definitely a wonderful story of love. Brave hearts taking their chances to follow one's heart and fighting for that one love and giving importance to what they truly feel deep inside. Something most lovers nowadays have neglected. Rarely will you find a man who would dare...( read more) to take their chance on their one true love. Most of them neglect to follow or fight for how they really feel inside. Most lovers nowadays are coward. Most true love fails because one of the persons involve or both are too dumb to choose his/her/their happiness, or too afraid to fight the odds. They just give in to the situations. So true love fails, which in the case nowadays, most of the time. Embracing and accepting the empty space in their heart that no one else could ever filled but that one person that they failed to fight for, because they are dumb, or they are afraid.

    This movie had potential, but it just didn't fall through.
