Falling in Love is a 1984 American romantic-drama film starring Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro and directed by Ulu Grosbard.

Plot synopsis

Two married strangers meet randomly, become friends, and fall in love. They spend time together, riding the train into the city of New York, and begin meeting for coffee or lunch. They enjoy their time together and this enjoyment eventually blossoms into love.

While Christmas shopping for their respective families, architect Frank Raftis (De Niro) and graphic artist Molly Gilmore (Streep) "meet cute," their holiday packages becoming mixed up. What starts as a pleasant chance acquaintance blossoms into romance. Inevitably, however, both parties realize that what they're doing is wrong—a shade too late to save their marriages, as it turns out. The film ends with a bittersweet "one year later" coda. Viewers who live along or ride the Hudson River Train Line will recognize much of the scenery, including the village of the Dobbs Ferry where De Niro's character and his family live.
