My next two TCM recommendations are not only romance films with two of the same cast members (Paul Henreid and Claude Rains), they were both produced by Hal Wallis and share screenwriting duties by Casey Robinson. Now, Voyager is up first and displays the greater romantic fireworks of the two, presented with fervour, maturity and elegance. Previously reviewed here

Now, Voyager will set sail Monday, July 26 at 7pm PDT.
Immediately following Now, Voyager, 1944's Academy Award Best Picture Winner Casablanca will air which I criticised in my review here

for its emotionally underwhelming Parisian flashback, partly due to the fact that we did not see the romance develop before these rather lukewarm scenes took place. There is, however, no denying the fact that this film casts a magical spell and is certainly capable of sweeping one up in its appealing blend of romance, sacrifice and political intrigue. This 1942 classic, one of Hollywood's proudest, arrives Monday, July 26 at 9:15pm PDT.
