An Affair To Remember (50th Anniversary Edition)

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: "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.

Summary: "AN INTERESTING AFFAIR...."

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER 1957

....unlike it's counterpart..LOVE AFFAIR filmed in 1939..this adaptation is colorized and it so screams as such...original story written by leo mccarey and mildred cram..screenplay by leo mccarey...songs by harry warren...music by hugo friedhofer...directed by leo mccarey...

our story begins not unlike the original version on an ocean liner out on the high seas..

we are introduced to nicky ferrente..(cary grant)..who never fails to amuse with his boyish devilish charms...a "playboy" who interesting enough we find is on his way to new york from london to be married.....our nicky conveniently happens to run into terry mckay..(deborah kerr)..who coincidentally also has a fiancee "back home" in new york...

our story steams full ahead with snappy dialogue at times and at other times seems stilted and forced and even draggy....could it be me i wonder...maybe i am missing some subtlety here..

of course the set design for our romantic voyage also screams 50's era..who knew... drab olive green shocking oranges..turquoise and baby blue...god awful pop art pattern on fabric..lots of icy cold angles and mirrors...burr..makes me shiver! other telltale clues to this period in time..things that really irritate my sense and sensibilities.ladies wearing fur...OOCH!...lack of desired atmosphere touches...all surfaces too crisp clear and pristine...i think our attention is forced to focus only on these two people because i see nothing to admire in the rest...

i am irritated by small things as well....like nicky throwing his letter from his fiance into the ocean..thus littering...dark shadows cast on these characters even though they are supposedly standing outside in the bright sunlight....what ever happened to continuity?


my god....was i starting to get sea sick but was saved just in the nicky of time when nick invites spunky terry to visit his grandmother during a five hour stop in port....we are treated mercifully to getting off that darn boat...our vista opens wide to a delightful seaside village full of character and sunlight...i can breath again..

grandmother's villa is full of old world european charm.....nicky redeems himself in our gals eyes by endearing stories told by grand mother about him....terry even discovers that he can even paint! the views are spectacular if you can believe them...i think they look quite fake....


oh my..the sappy dialogue continues on and on and on...and then sometimes..the words just float uncomfortably in space...not too much room for emotion nor emotional connection with these two...before our ship of fools finally docks in new york harbor it is much too late for my loyalty....

there are a couple of amusing moments..one being as nicky and terry stand waiting to disembark...and they're standing at opposite ends of the passageway..they glance back and forth at each other....so do the other passengers...not unlike a tennis match...the other being an interview scene with robert q. lewis between nicky and his socialite fiance in her new york apartment....flash over to the strand reunion between terry and her fiance..both quite amusing...(you'll have to see for yourself)...

life continues for our two star crossed lovers for six months as they have vowed to meet at the top of the empire state building.....he waits there for her...but she doesn't show up...an accident befalls poor terry on the way to their clandestine tryst..witch leaves her crippled and broken....nicky does not know any of this and simply assumes that she has changed her mind....

mundane life continues for both...we see nicky brood on the street in front of the empire state building then sadly walk away in the night......then one foggy christmas eve...nicky shows up at terry's apartment..to discover at long last that there always was a reason terry didn't show up that night.....

cue the ending music.....thank you very much for that.....

although it was quite a chore to get through this film....i am sorry that i listened to that lovely melody by vic dimone.. AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER....cause now hard as i try...i just can't get that song out of my head!
