Review of An Affair to Remember (1957) by Lewis C — 01 Mar 2011
"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.
