Trivia
Not screened in advance for critics. Richard Gere spoke out publicly against this move, saying it damned the film's credibility. MGM countered that the reason for the action was that they didn't want critics spoiling the film's "surprise" ending.

Goofs
Charlotte makes a hat specifically to wear to the ball, but she isn't wearing it when she finally gets there; presumably, she got distracted and forgot it.

Quotes
Will: You think I'm too old for you?
Charlotte: Oh, no... I collect antiques, or I aspire to.
Will: Ouch.

Beautiful shots of New York, story is, well...

I'm a sucker for good cinematography, and did the technical crew for Autumn in New York deliver the goods with their beautiful exterior shots of New York. Hats off to them.

The story is...well, let's say it's not nothing we've never seen before. I really can't stand the older men/younger women "romances". Richard Gere and Winona Ryder, while both are good and competent actors, generate no sparks here. Winona Ryder is almost twenty-nine. Can't she start acting in films where she plays a character within her own age range? A decent supporting cast is given next to nothing to do (I wish I could've seen more of the grandmother).

As mentioned here by other reviewers, Autumn in New York is almost a direct rip-off of Love Story, right down to the ice-skating scene in Central Park, where she then is rushed to the hospital. And Richard Gere's character is a pushy slimeball.

I give the movie a 3/10, because of the exterior shots, the autumn and winter feeling and scenery, and because I am a fan of Winona Ryder. And one last thing...why wasn't this film released in September, October, or November when this is truly an "Autumn" movie instead of in August?
