Naturally there was zero chemistry between them, he was a creepy old guy, it would have been like kissing her fatherYUK!
The whole film really screwed the pooch when it came to believable relationships, that one was not the only one there was Ava Gardner as the daughter of Lorne Greene, WTF?!? He was only 7 years older then she was, NO WAY could she pull off a young enough woman to be his daughter!

LMAO Not sure wtf an "almost emotional affair" is but its pretty obvious he is having a VERY absolutely positive "physical affair" with her considering he is in her BED after making love with her, she is getting dressed and they are talking about doing it again later that night! Sure he ends up "trying" to save his old wife but thats because Heston usually portrayed a hero, not like a hero would just ignore the screams of a woman even if it is the old nagging harpy he is unfortunate enough to be shackled to!

He insisted on the complete lack of chemistry, I always heard. Charton Heston always was an activist and fighter for the values of marriage and family life. I think he even was one of the rare Hollywood stars who spent his entire career married to one woman. I believe they were married for more than fifty years.
This is more or less confirmed by something in the trivia section:
SPOILER: The original shooting script had Charlton Heston's character survive at the end of the film, while Ava Gardner and George Kennedy's characters are killed (separately) in the storm drain tunnel. However, Heston was dissatisfied with the script as written, since his character survives to rebuild the city with his mistress by his side (which he felt was not morally sound). Since Heston had script approval, he insisted his character die while trying to save his drowning wife. The change was made, Kennedy's character survives, and says the final lines of the film originally intended for Heston.

The point IS, they weren't supposed to be involved. It just happened because he felt guilt over her husband dying because Heston sent him on a job which cost him his life. He still cared about Remy, but her beign such a b!tch pushed him, and Bujold's character actually liked him regardless of age. I'm really curious about the ages of people posting it was gross, it sounds pretty immature to understand that sometimes people just fall in love with someone because they like someone, or love them, not because of a tag that people put on them.
Does everyone date someone their exact age and born on date? Most people can go 10 up or 10 down, using 30 as a base point, but I've seen people with 20 years of more. It's not the number that matters. -

nods
The same argument was made for "Final Destination 2" (2003); the characters of officer Burke (Michael Landes) and Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook). She was nineteen or twenty at most, he was in his mid 30s. Considering what they had gone through and what she did for him (for the both of them) at the end; who cares? They're both honorable people, who made sacrifices to save others. The age difference was/is immaterial.
And by the way, one of the few sequels which was better than the original. -

One of the immortal lines she spoke to him was, "When you made love to me last night it was with I'm trying to think of the word such anger. Were you angry with me?" I imagined Heston's character answering her, "I wasn't angry, I just had all this pent up energy and I felt like screwing the hell out of you."

I was grossed out watching the relationship between Chuck and Bujold (though the movie was OK, watching again after almost 40 years). Perhaps it was punishment for Bujold's tantrums and falling out with Universal at the time.
