Get out your handkerchiefs for this four-star weepie, a 1957 remake of the 1939 Love Affair which soars on Cary Grant's charm and Deborah Kerr's noble suffering.
One of the great motion picture romances, "An Affair to Remember"(which inspired 'Sleepless in Seattle'), stars the legendary Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as two engaged to be wed people meeting aboard a cruise to New York. The pair soon become acquainted and their friendship blooms into romance.
They agree to meet at the top of the Empire State Building six months from then, provided they still feel the same way about each other. However, through a tragic series of events, their romance seems doomed forever. The film boasts stellar performances from Grant as a lovable playboy finally wishing to settle down with his ideal woman; Kerr is particularly engaging in the second half of the film regarding what has happened to their relationship.
