Director Jordan (''Interview With the Vampire,'' ''The Crying Game''), however, has a promise he can keep: This ''Affair'' is based on the mystical romanticism of the 1951 Graham Greene novel and is definitely not a remake of the silly 1955 movie adaptation that starred Deborah Kerr, Van Johnson, and Peter Cushing. ''When I asked Columbia to do the book, I didn't even know that there was already a movie,'' says Jordan. ''Then I saw the original, which was one of those pedantic stories that Hollywood did to avoid [dealing with] the erotic aspects of the book because it was the 1950s. It has nothing to do with the movie I wanted to make.''
Moore apparently approved of Jordan's vision: ''I begged Neil to cast me in this movie,'' says the actress. ''I'd never read anything like it. Beautiful, beautiful.'' BUZZ FACTOR: 4
