Love at First Sight

About This Movie

So, 'Love at First Sight' is a curious little gem from 1977. The whole premise revolves around Roy, who’s blind and accident-prone, falling for Shirley, a young woman caught in a tug-of-war with her disapproving father, Frank. They venture to Niagara Falls—there’s something about that setting that just adds to the whimsical feel of it all. The pacing meanders a bit, which gives the film a relaxed vibe, but it’s really the performances that stand out. The chemistry between the leads has this charming awkwardness that feels genuine. It’s got that light comedy and romance blend, but there’s an underlying theme of defiance against societal expectations that makes it a bit more layered than your average rom-com.

This film hasn’t seen too many re-releases, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Available mainly in VHS format, its scarcity adds to the intrigue for those interested in 70s comedies. Despite its low profile, it holds a certain charm that appeals to collectors looking to fill gaps in their romantic comedy sections.
