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 Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr star as a playboy and a nightclub singer who embark on a shipboard romance and eventually fall completely in love with each other. They decide to make a pact that when they arrive back at their separate homes, they will end their respective relationships, and rendezvous in six months' time at the top of the Empire State Building. The course of true love, however, never does run smoothly. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Original Song and Best Original Score. Review: Charming, feel good film. - Never seen the film although knowing of it. Thoroughly enjoyed it, even it being somewhat dated, which added to its charm. I have always been a fan of Cary Grant, he makes acting look so effortless, Review: good - good

My favourite film
I first saw this film when I was fifteen and at the end, you could hear the sound of weeping throughout the cinema. I absolutely loved it, for its glamour, gentle romance and bitter-sweet ending. I also developed a lifelong enthusiasm for heart-throb Cary Grant. I still think he was the most gorgeous creature on two legs. (All my heart-throbs are now dead - Frankie Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck and, above all, the incomparably witty and sophisticated Cary Grant! I, of course, am still 27...) Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr play two people on an ocean liner who, although involved with other people, fall in love. The romance is depicted with gentle sophistication; it comes from an age where there was no premature rolling in the hay and relationships had time to develop naturally and with restraint. Both characters have a past and Nicki, Grant's character, has never had to earn a living or take responsibility. At the end of the cruise, they agree to part for six months in order to sort out their previous relationships and Nicki promises to learn to work for a living, True to the romanticism of the story, he does no do any ordinary job, but becomes a painter and begins to experience success. However, though he waits at their agreed meeting place until midnight (the top of the Empire State Building), Kerr's character, Terry, does not show up. The rest of the film unravels the reason for this until the inevitable happens and they find each other. In the meantime, both grow up, rather belatedly. When the reason for their not meeting is revealed, we all cry. The film is a taste of a gentler, more innocent era, where romantic tension was still possible because of the greater sexual restraint. It is quite charming and, all these years later, I still enjoy watching it.

Wonderful Movie
Amazing delivery (13 hours after I had ordered it) Loved the film. The movie `Sleepless in Seattle` makes sense when you see this as it is built around it. Really moving and well-acted. Cary Grant was wonderful, as was Deborah Kerr. The fashions of the time were so stylish too.

A Timeless Classic!
My parents grew up watching this movie and so did I. It’s a timeless masterpiece which everyone should watch in their lifetime. Some movies are forever, ‘An Affair to Remember’ is one of the best classics. Then blu-ray quality is superb. Great picture, great sound. A must have for movie buffs.

Une belle romance, de beaux paysages
Nous avions visionné ce film il y a quelques années en version originale et souhaitions le revoir. C’est une belle histoire, les vues prises à Villefranche-Sur- Mer sont splendides. Pas de sexe, pas de violence, beaucoup d’humour mais quelques larmes versées pendant les dernières minutes. Je recommande.
