Not So Different has been reworked by TRS into Not So Different Remark


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Michel's fascination with Terry implies she's NotLikeOtherGirls because she doesn't swoon at his feet when she figures out who he is. Because the movie hints Terry had a similar past and is now [[LadykillerInLove happily engaged]], does Michel think he's [[NotSoDifferent met his match]], or hopes to find a [[TheObiWan way out]] from his womanizing habits?

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Mike's grandmother Ginny. What didn't help was she was played by Creator/KatharineHepburn, who was not only going to retire from acting after this role, but hadn't been in a movie outside of made-for-TV ones in about a decade. Some reviews argued it was [[JustHereForGodzilla worth watching to see Hepburn]] in her element again.

* BrokenBase: Due to AdaptationDisplacement, ''Love Affair'' became this to ''Film/AnAffairToRemember'', particularly the BaseBreakingCharacter roles of Boyer's Michel and Creator/CaryGrant's Nicky. What didn't help cool the debate was the two men's different approaches to the womanizing role, making it a war between SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan, respectively. One of Boyer's ''own biographies'' argued he was horribly miscast as a LadykillerInLove, whereas [[https://sassmouthdames.com/2017/06/24/charles-boyer-eyes-wide-open-in-love-affair-39/ one review that compared the two performances]] argued Grant shouldn't have chosen an AngstWhatAngst take because it was unfit for a bittersweet ChickFlick and made Nicky look self-centered.

* AwardSnub: This was one of Creator/IreneDunne's five Best Actress Oscar nominations, but, as she pointed out decades later, ''Love Affair'' was nominated against ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' so she wouldn't have stood a chance.
