  The product of superb acting and poor direction. Many scenes felt as though they were meant to be much more moving than they really were. The swelling music and the long silences made me look at my watch more than it made me reach for the tissues. With that said, Grant's charm… More
  The product of superb acting and poor direction. Many scenes felt as though they were meant to be much more moving than they really were. The swelling music and the long silences made me look at my watch more than it made me reach for the tissues. With that said, Grant's charm cuts through every scene and I completely understand why the mere mention of this film's title gives most women heart palpitations. Also, what the hell is with all of the songs?

  A playboy and a woman meet on a cruise ship and agree to meet six months later on the roof of the Empire State Building. There are moments when Cary Grant is irresistibly charming and Deborah Kerr exhibits that sensual grace that only women in old movies can master and moments when director Leo McCarey is able to capture the perfect image to tell an entire story (instead of a kiss, we see Ferrante's feet re-trace their steps up stairs, and the "hello" in the theater was exceptional acting and directing) - these are the moments that remind me that I'm watching a classic. But the rest of the film is quite simply bad. Aside from frightfully annoying children singing moralistic balderdash for the grand total of ten minutes (approximately - I was trying to puncture my eardrum with a broken Coke bottle), the characters' romance is routinely interrupted by plot elements that mean as much to them as they do to us (meaning: nothing). For example, Ferrante and McKay's attitude toward the boat knowing about their romance is insouciant, but the script makes it a big deal, and further, each leaves his/her other lover with such quick abandon that it's hard to understand what drove them to be so secretive during the first hour of the film. Overall, though <i>An Affair to Remember</i> is a recognizable romantic classic, it is only so highly regarded for a few scenes; the rest is just bad filmmaking.

  A nice love story buried in the ongoing saga of two people that find love while both are committed to others. After dragging on a while.... the movie seems rushed at the end, like a clock was ticking and let's just wrap this up! Fun to see the movie the girls cry about in "Sleepless in Seattle".

  "If it had to happen to one of us, why did it have to be you?" I have to admit that An Affair to Remember is not really my preferred kind of movie (I'm more of a Casablanca man), but it's difficult to imagine a lover of old school romantic films in general not enjoying this. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr star in this tale of star-crossed lovers who find each other when they already belong to someone else. After parting from their brief days of bliss together, they agree to meet again in six months atop the Empire State Building. Alas, Fate has different designs. An Affair to Remember is bittersweet, mature, and witty, but I'm not the greatest fan of this genre. I heartily recommend it to anyone who is, though. It's impossible not to appreciate how well it achieves what it sets out to do, and it's easy to buy into the on-screen chemistry of Grant and Kerr.

  These back and forth romantic drama movies get on my nerves and this one is no exception. I do like Grant and Kerr, but they don't do much with the movie.

• Jeremy S

  
  Winner of my Top Chick Flicks.

• Randy T

  
  How can you not like the pairing of Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr? Classic old-school romance.

• Jennifer X

  
  This is not...a very good movie, but it wasn't completely horrible. Deborah Kerr's acting, however, is monstrous.

• Michael G

  
  I wasn't amazed, but I didn't hate it.

• Leigh R

  
  Beautifully sweet.

• George M

  
  Tedius piece of work which has its amusing moments because of of the good acting.

• Dannielle A

  
  Cheesey but still a cute movie, and excellent acting by Grant and Kerr.

  As always the performances "back in the day" were among the best ever to date the silver screen. Cary Grant is easily one of my personal favorites and he and Deborah Kerr give amazing performances and play off each others chemistry remarkably. A true Classic Romance film that still tugs at the heartstrings some fifty years later. Recommended!

• Mike T

  
  A flawless love story. Full of humor we can all relate to and painful moments that truly hit home, this is a cinematic masterpiece. Powered by charismatic actors at their best and a great script.

  Based more on star power than any other artistic achievement in direction, or scriptwriting, 'an affair to remember' is a hand kerchief spender made to watch on long nights that turn well into morning. Nominated for an Oscar for best music score, among other things (luckily it was not the recipient) it's a film that has been shamelessly copied again and again later on. It's one of those films that set the standards for the romance genre, and today, it feels too formulaic for our sake.

  Sleepless in Seattle is way better. It just doesn't work for me.

• Sunil J

  
  Awesome chemistry. A little sappy but very funny as well.
