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

Customer Reviews for
An Affair to Remember
If wishes could come true...
What a pity that Fox didn't make the original version "Love Affair" part of this anniversary package. Like director McCarey I prefer the original to this quite good remake. And while I have long been a fan of Cary Grant's acting abilities I have to say that I, again like director McCarey, prefer Charles Boyer to the great Grant.An Affair to Remember
"Darling, don't look at me like that."
Grant's charming philanderer Nicky Ferrante, a renowned bachelor, and Kerr's American nightclub singer Terry McKay meet aboard a transatlantic luxury liner steaming back to New York via Naples and surrender--in the midst of good humor--to their undeniable chemistry...
Unfortunately, both are hampered with others lovers... At the end of the voyage, they make a promise... In six months, if both are free they will reunite at the top of the Empire State Building, "the nearest thing they have to heaven in New York."
In the day of the meeting, the reformed Grant put his paintbrushes away and luckily paces the skyscraper's roof, but Kerr, looking up to heaven to see him, is involved in a serious accident...
What fallows is almost unbelievable as Grant yields to pompous cynicism, unaware Kerr is too proud to let him know the truth...
With four Oscar nominations, and with attractive settings as the French Riviera, and two appealing beautiful people sharing pink champagne, Leo McCarey's pretty good romantic film gives off flashes of gaiety and sways with longing hearts to be filled with love and life...
