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

Most of us remember this film seen years earlier. I viewed this recently while on a plane to visit loved ones on the Holidays. The 50th Anniversary of this film will remind us all of the innocent times of yesteryear. Romantic and cute, the first part played on an ocean liner. Playboy, Nicki Ferrante, meets the woman he is fated to fall in love with, Terry McKay. They meet, discover they like each other and this turns to love. They visit Nicki's grandmother in France, and this scene is the one we ... Read More

Leo McCarey's 1957 remake of his 1939 Love Affair stars Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as two completely different people who end up falling in love on a transatlantic cruise.

Terry McKay is a nightclub singer in Boston and is in a long-term relationship. Nickie pursues Terry, who at first refuses, but the two fall deeply ... Read More
Rating:  - A Timeless Truth to be remembered by all {any version}
Well said Lawrence Ryan, "An Affair to Remember" is a story that is well worth remembering for all people in every time or place, and thank you, I for one am one of those girls who like to see Real men around, those who are strong enough to wait six months, or longer, for the girl they love, the girl who loved him enough to want to give her whole heart and not just a one night stand, or even a one cruise stand ! The girl who was wonderful enough to give everything or nothing.

Rating: - 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.
Rating: - "Darling, don't look at me like that."
