Trailer 688 of 906
One of the then-rare examples of a director remaking his own film, Leo McCarey's 1957 remake of his 1939 Love Affair casts Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as lovers for the second time, in parts originated by Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne. This all-time champion weepie gained a new fan base when it was excerpted in the 1993 Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan hit Sleepless in Seattle.
It wasn't the late 40s, it was the mid-50s, early 60s that they kept introducing Saxon..
Oddly enough, Brando didn't marry the female star of this movie--but instead Movita Castaneda, the female star of the 1935 MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY..
Watching this week's TFH ode to blaxploitation makes me want to grow an Afro!.
It's enjoyable, and Racquel's presence makes it memorable (that poster of her in her loins is an icon), but, this is far from the best of Harryhausen..
Thanks for the shout out, David. I look back at this trailer with great fondness...
It played a couple of years back on TCM underground, and "bizarre" does kind of nail it; it doesn't really make a lick of sense, but it's quite entertaining, and I still find myself humming "What You See is What You Get" frequently. The concept of cloning black leaders to undermine the black community's leadership was a precursor to the "Undercover Brother" film years later (though that was mind control drugs, not cloning exactly).
