An Affair to Remember (U)

★★★✭ Leo McCarey's remake of his Love Affair (1939) is a classic tearjerker and a key reference of Sleepless in Seattle (1993). While shameless in its manipulation of emotion, the film avoids the worst excesses of the bathetic through the peerless performances of its two graceful leads. ~ AllMovie.

One of the nations best loved romantic films, starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.

Handsome playboy Nicky Ferrante and beautiful night club singer Terry McKay have a romance while on a cruise from Europe to New York.

Despite being engaged to other people, both agree to reunite at the top of the Empire State Building in six months.

However, an unfortunate accident keeps Terry from the reunion, and Nicky fears that she has married or does not love him anymore.

Will he discover the truth behind her absence and reunite with his one true love, or has fate and destiny passed them by?

★★★★ Thanks to the incomparable Cary Grant, at his slickly arch and urbane best, and the self-contained, sassy Deborah Kerr, this wonderfully frothy 1950s confection remains a cinematic object lesson in the perfect rapier delivery of cut-and-thrust dialogue. ~ Radio Times.
