despite all the great talent corral together for this film and it be a resounding dud . warren beatty try to be another cary grant but he just doesn not have the latter charm and elegance and and class . annette benning be affect and but together the two do not put much passion or urgency in their supposedly torrid affair . about the only reason to watch this movie be to catch a brief glimpse of 86 year old katharine hepburn and and this be hardly her best work . aficionado of this genre would be good of track down the film on which it be base and an affair to remember ( 1957 ) and with cary grant and deborah kerr and itself a technicolor remake of the black and white love affair ( 1939 ) .
