Love at First Sight is a 1977 Canadian romantic comedy film directed by Rex Bromfield. [1]
Love at First Sight is a romantic comedy about a young woman, Shirley ( Mary Ann McDonald), and a clumsy blind man named Roy ( Dan Aykroyd). The pair flees to Niagara Falls to open a restaurant when Shirley's controlling and unpleasant father Frank (George Murray) objects to their relationship.
The film was critically panned at the time.[ citation needed] Aykroyd was still with Saturday Night Live at the time the picture was made and this is his first film. The theme song was " Do You Believe in Love at First Sight" written by Ron Roker, Gerry Shury, Chris Rea and Frank McDonald and recorded by Dionne Warwick. The song had been performed a year earlier by Polly Brown.
