and the following occurred to me:
I didn’t recognize Victor Garber as the friend, I still think of him from Godspell
It’s amazing to think that there was a time when Rosie O’Donnell was not only cute, but was funny. She is a pretty good supporting actress.
You know it must be odd to be in a movie with your wife when the entire story of the picture is falling in love with someone else.
And isn’t it nice to see a Hollywood marriage succeed. No matter what you hit Hanks for, he gets credit for that one.
Meg Ryan has not been so lucky.
You know one of the bad side effects of a movie like this is how it makes people decide that good people are not good enough because you think magic is going to happen. Both main characters were seeing nice people who deserved a better fate then they got.
Maybe if the idea was getting a good person rather than “the” person the question of finding a mate by the age of 40 v terrorism wouldn’t have come up.
The “Paul is dead” bit is an important reminder that just about everything you’ve noticed has been seen by someone before.
Did anyone else notice Hank’s wife was played by a Bond Girl?
The Dirty Dozen crying scene is one of those great guy moments.
You know if the sexes of Tom Hanks character and Meg Ryan’s character were reversed, this could have been made as a “stalker” drama.
If this movie came out 15 years later Jimmie Durante singles might have been selling on Itunes.
Then again if it was 15 years later Jonah would have had a photo of Anne via linkedln.
And the private detective would have had a digital camera and would not have made a sound. In 20 years would people watching this movie wonder what that sound was?
Even before the twin towers came down the Empire State building had more style. No matter what building were taller how could you have the romantic moment elsewhere.
I wonder how many copies of An affair to Remember were sold after this movie came out?
A lot more than the dirty dozen.
Politically Rob Reiner is a nut but he is still funny and does underplayed comedy very well.
Is it odd to you that a nine year old kid would be watching the front for her mother’s business? It was to me.
And finally “If it is in the computer they believe it.” That hasn’t changed one bit.
