Love Affair

1994 · 108 min

A tender, old-fashioned romance that builds slowly toward a bittersweet emotional payoff, with elegant visuals and a wistful score.

Overview
Ex-football star Mike Gambril meets Terry McKay on a flight to Sydney, which is forced to land on a small atoll. They become romantic on board a ship sent to take them to a larger island. They agree to meet in New York three months later to see if the attraction is real. One shows up but the other doesn't. However, a chance meeting brings them together again.
