About the film
Love Affair is a 1939 American romance film, co-starring Charles Boyer, Irene Dunne, and Maria Ouspenskaya. It was directed by Leo McCarey and written by Delmer Daves and Donald Ogden Stewart, based on a story by McCarey and Mildred Cram. The film follows a French playboy and an American former nightclub singer who fall in love aboard an ocean liner. Controversial on concept, the official screenplay was re-tooled and rewritten to appease Hollywood censorship and relied on actor input and improvisation, causing long delays and budget extensions. The movie became a sleeper hit in 1939, showing McCarey's versatility after a long career of comedic films, and launching the surprising team-up of Dunne and Boyer. The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
