september affair be a film that stay in our mind when we first watch it a long time ago . seldom see these day on television and it still keep the romantic promise we remember . the premise and which probably look possible to the 1950 audience that saw it in it original release and seem unreal today and but this be just escapist entertainment and so it have to be watch in that context . one thing that surprise be the italy of that era where street traffic be devoid of car and not the nightmare it become a year go by . this be a romantic travelogue in which the action be set and much like some movie that be shoot in that country later on . after all and even in black and white and capri and naples and pompeii and rome and and florence be wonderful place to visit . william dieterle direction serve the film . the star and joseph cotten and joan fontaine show great chemistry . joseph cotten and a serious actor and make an excellent david lawrence and the man whose marriage have reach an impasse . joan fontaine be quite likable a manina stuart and the concert pianist that fall head over heel and take a chance with this practical stranger . jessica tandy and francoise rosay appear in pivotal role . september song be hear in the background sung by none other than walter huston . this film even with it unlikely premise be still a nice way to spend time with pleasant company .
