I wanted to watch this movie several times and it was delayed for inexplicable reasons. In the end, I just watched "Sleepless in Seattle" ("The Sky of Fate") and couldn't help it anymore. I found out that even though it was repeatedly called yes. The film of the woman's movie...is really good.

Although the protagonist is a playboy, the white-faced pauper and the female protagonist is a busker, but still can not prevent this is a clean love story that describes the pure pride of the film.

In fact, this film is a remake of his work "Love Affair" in 1939 by the same director, but the box office is much higher than that of the version in 39. I think the two protagonists here have contributed. Indispensable: Gary Grant, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.

In the movie, the two lovers finally get married. The last scene is very touching and tearful, but in real life, the two people had their own misfortunes at the time.

Cary Grant, the heart-thinking handsome guy, has just shot Hitchcock's "Beauty" and "Catch a Thief". They are very popular, but they have suffered a lot of emotional damage. At that time, he had just started his third marriage, but because of the film "The Pride and the Passion" with Sophia Loren, he fell madly in love with the rival actress Sofia Loren, but Roland quickly became involved The filmmaker Carlo Ponti fell in love and ignored him. With the pain of failing extramarital affairs, he devoted himself to the shooting of "Golden Jade League".

The female number one originally wanted to use Ingrid Bergman, and the director wanted to continue the glory of "Beauty", but Ingrid Bergman was playing in Europe at the time. She refused, so the crew had to use PLAN B. Switch to the popular British actress Deborah Kerr.

Deborah Kerr was already the mother of two daughters, and this is the second time he has collaborated with Gary Grant. Her husband is the British Air Force combat hero Anthony Bartley. In the United States, everyone calls him the husband of a star. Unlike in the United Kingdom, he faces everyone in the image of a hero. The huge psychological loss is caused by factors such as " The two divorced about a year after the filming of "Golden Jade League".

Lastly, the director didn't want to use New York and the top floor of the Empire State Building as the background. He wanted to change the scene to Chicago, because there were too many movies with New York as the background, but in the end he gave up the idea of ​​making changes.

Fortunately, so that "Sleepless in Seattle" can be connected with this movie, and I will watch this movie today, whatever, who knows~
