Description
In this poignant and humorous love story nominated for four Academy Awards, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr meet on an ocean liner and fall deeply in love. Though each is engaged to someone else, they agree to meet six months later at the Empire State Building if they still feel the same way about each other. But a tragic accident prevents their rendezvous and the lover's future takes an emotional and uncertain turn.
Get out your handkerchiefs for this four-star weepie, a 1957 remake of the 1939 Love Affair, directed by Leo McCarey, who also made the original. Grant and Kerr are strangers on an ocean liner, involved with other people, but who can't resist each other for a shipboard romance. They decide to test whether this is the real thing by agreeing to split up, then meet in six months atop the Empire State Building. Is there anyone who can resist that setup or the tragic romantic mishap that nearly splits them up? Can you keep dry eyes during the famous finale? Some prefer the original (with Charles Boyer); practically no one liked the underrated 1994 remake with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. While occasionally a shade slow, this one soars on Grant's charm and Kerr's noble suffering. --Marshall Fine

Summary: "As Deep and Rich as It Is Stylish and Romantic"
"An Affair to Remember" is an almost perfect film. It is as deep and rich as it is stylish and romantic. And if someone tells you it is just a soap opera -- that person would be very, very wrong.
Yes, the film has style to burn. Deborah Kerr was never more beautiful. Her skin looks like cream; her pert, pinched nose like a blossom. She's never been more appealing than she is here. The scene where she smiles from a boat at her fiancé on shore alone is worth the price of admission.
Cary Grant seems to sleep in tuxedos. He is a walking model of male perfection.
Less observant viewers come away from this movie thinking that nothing happened, that nothing was ever at stake, that nothing was risked or gained. How wrong they are.
Kerr's amazing dresses -- how about the one with the pumpkin colored ribbons woven through the front? -- Grant's suavity, and the south of France settings are not just there to pose for the camera.
All of the beauty of this film is there to do very hard work -- to tell a less than beautiful story.
And, no, this is not a movie where nothing happens. Something is happening in every scene -- you just have to be paying attention, and you just have to be mature enough, or have your antenna up high enough, to catch the subtle messages the film is sending, and to feel in your own solar plexus, the resonances of loves, dreams, and selves risked and gained, or lost.
Nicki and Terry are both gambling much here. They are wounded people in a world of high glamor; they speak in arch codes, even as their hearts are bleeding, or their breath is caught against the cage of dreams.
Grant's character, Nicki Ferrante, is a lazy gigolo. "Gigolo" is a pretty word for an ugly situation. Ferrante is a talented artist, but he knows that he can market something else he does -- seduce women -- far more easily, and for a higher price, than he can get for his paintings.
Kerr's character, Terry McKay, as she says, had to grow up very fast, and fight off a boss who -- well -- she faced some bad stuff in her life. When a steady, but less than thrilling, man offered to set her up, she, no fool, took the offer.
These are two beautiful people swanning through life over some very ugly circumstances. They have both sold their best selves for easy money.
And, then, completely by chance, on shipboard, they meet their soul mates. This meeting doesn't just present them with an opportunity for a one night stand. It demands that they face their own fears, and become their best selves.
I'm one of those cynical people who doesn't believe in love, never mind soul mates, but this movie carries it all off so well, it makes me believe.
Grant and Kerr begin with the lightest, and subtlest, of exchanges. they say things to each other -- example: "I'd be surprised if you were surprised" -- that, if you are not paying attention and that if you don't know a lot about life -- would just go over your head.
Slowly but surely their effervescent, and yet irresistible, attraction becomes truly heavy. The scene with Grandmere Janou (Cathleen Nesbit) is amazing for all it says, without actually saying anything.
I could see a naive film-goer taking in that scene and then asking, "What was the point of that scene?" You really have to have your eyes on the screen, and have a sensitivity to human interactions. Who is looking at whom; whose face is suddenly hidden and why; who is saying what without actually saying it; and why does the sound of that boat whistle bring tears -- you have to be willing to pay attention, and to have a sense of life and human relationships, and, yes, an openness to the possibility of there being a God to understand that scene.
Here you have a man and a woman who have, basically, sold themselves to the highest bidder, and who, at that point, are perilously close to cheating. What happens? Their love is blessed by the Virgin Mary. Heavy stuff.
"We changed our course today." Truer words were never spoken.
I've got to hand it to Leo McCarey, who wrote and directed this film as well as the Academy Award winning "Going My Way." He so wonderfully brings the best, and most complex, aspects of Catholicism to the screen here. Catholicism is associated with the romance languages -- French, Italian -- and it also is friendly to this kind of romance -- a romance where fallen beauties are blindsided by the kind of tortuous, redemptive, overwhelming, fated love that demands, and gets, everything, after which, you are never the same.
If you haven't seen the movie, or "Sleepless in Seattle," I won't reveal the ending to you. I'll just say that merely thinking about the ending can make me cry such tears as, really, very few films I've ever seen can make me cry. These tears are their own species.

Summary: "Don't waste your time in theaters. The good stuff came out in 1957."
You can't overestimate the awesomeness of this story and how it will make you feel, which for me was excited and exhilarated and weepy and a little bit tired. Truly, I never even liked Deborah Kerr until I sat through this movie (I find it difficult to like any woman who gets with Yul Brynner right in front of me). But I changed my mind. And Cary Grant - well, I'll be honest, there was never any trouble with him. Lord Almighty.
I wish I could say there were no bad bits in this movie, but I am bound to honesty. I was not a fan of either rendition of "Tomorrow-Land," and the whole children's chorus thing got way too much play. Maybe I am also a little tired of the "Sharp-Eyed Old Lady Full of Wisdom and Matchmaking Inclinations" movie cliche, but I guess that was only one scene (albeit an important one) in the midst of an epically wonderful movie that I otherwise loved every moment of. And the score was ... ever-present. The nicest way of putting it. But those are minor complaints.
Watch this movie for:
The chemistry. The way they met. The brief scene where she's leaving the dining hall just as he goes in, so she tells him to try the bouillabaisse and he just says "Oh, shut up." The sentimentality (if you like that sort of thing), the title song, their stubbornness, how much of a twerp Nick is, and how movie-magically-easy it was to turn him from a devil-may-care playboy into a deeply feeling and goodhearted potential husband. How Terry was always able to laugh at herself and be blunt and real and plain and yet hopelessly sexy all at the same time. How you don't even have to feel bad for her jilted ex because he is incredibly attractive in his own right and will probably end up happy with someone else.
The best element, though, was how these two people who were so assertive in their independence - not in the way self-described independents often look in worse movies, like "I cannot bring myself to respect any woman, and only use them for woo-hoo!" or "A man once hurt me terribly and now I distrust the entire sex!" (oh dear, how are we going to get THESE two to fall in love?, ugh, etc.), but a little more realistically than that - came to desperately need one another. When they first meet, their interaction is obviously charming, but there's no real cause on either side to pursue it as anything more than a fling. Nick is just bored and overconfident, and I guess Terry feels emancipated and a little on the reckless side, but always smooth and in control. AND YET... next thing you know they're swimming together, and once you've seen each other in a bathing suit you might as well get married. I mean Cary Grant in swim trunks is not just going to skip out of my life.
Even better, when they're off traveling together and visiting sharp-eyed old ladies, they are still not acting foolish or twitterpated or even especially cute. They have my personal favorite type of movie chemistry, which is 90% banter and 10% love-you-anyway knowledge of the other's flaws that occasionally involves confrontation but only of the most loving sort. It seems... I don't know, "mature." Maybe just because everyone I know is still in high school.
So yeah, they're deeply in love, but not in that pathetic and obnoxious way where they're weeping in the rain into each other's faces and abandoning all others - rather in a way that makes you feel kind of proud of them. Neither has to debase him or herself for the relationship, neither one becomes pathetic or loses sight of themselves. That's what I hate to see in movies, the sort of reckless hurling of one into their partner because NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. It's unrelateable and always makes me anxious, like, what if they break up?... Ugh. Kerr's character is so much more admirable this way, I mean in that she has a spine, and it MAKES SENSE, because of how her pride (a shortcoming, and her defining characteristic, present at every crucial plot point) actually almost prevents the happy ending that is still within her reach. God that's a scene.
Summary: An excellent movie for when you're feeling unapologetically romantic, or any time you want to feel the heartache without suffering the unhappy ending. Because in the movies, love can even cure paralysis. And Cary Grant wears swim trunks.

Summary: "One of the Best All Time Romantic Movies"
I'm 62 years old; and I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie since I was a girl, but I never tire of seeing it again. I have the Irene Dunn version of "Love Affair", as well as the Warren Beatty version of "Love Affair" (the latter is not really worth mentioning); but neither holds a candle to Grant/Kerr's "An Affair to Remember".
I never knew Cary Grant could act until I saw this movie. I had always thought him rather silly, and I didn't understand why he was considered a romantic lead. But when you see the emotion on his face in the scene at his grandmother's house after her death, and then when you see the pain in his face when he sees the painting hanging in Terry's bedroom, you know that only a good actor could convey those emotions so well. So well, in fact, that I never fail to cry when I see those scenes.
What makes this one of the best all time romantic movies? Nowadays, you can see anything you want in a movie, leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. Well, that's not romance. In "An Affair to Remember", you see absolutely nothing, not even a kiss; and somehow that makes it all the more romantic. There is one scene when a kiss is implied: Nicky and Terry are coming down the steps to the lower deck on the ship, they stop, go back up a step where you can't see their heads, stand perfectly still for a minute, and you're left to draw your own conclusion. Now that is more romantic than all the passionate love scenes in all the movies put together. Of course, the beautiful musical score doesn't hurt.
Well, that is one old lady's opinion. Hope someone finds it helpful.
P.S. Starting with this movie, I did become a fan of Cary Grant's later movies.
