"AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER" Director: Leo McCarey Leo McCarey's remake of his own 1939 film Love Affair. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, high-profile types both engaged to be married to other people, meet and fall in love during an ocean voyage. To test the depth of their commitment to each other, Grant and Kerr promise that, if they're still in love at the end of six months, they will meet again at the top of the Empire State Building. Clips from An Affair to Remember were used as "reference points" throughout the 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle, which likewise concluded atop the Empire State Building. Disproving the theory that "Third Time's the Charm," Warren Beatty attempted to remake Affair to Remember, again titled Love Affair, in 1994.Nominated for 4 OSCARS!

It's got all the ingredients that should make it an ideal women's picture, and theme and treatment add up to prime boxoffice appeal. "An Affair to Remember," using plenty of attractive settings (on and off the U.S.S. Constitution), is still primarily a film about two people; and since those two happen to be Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, one of the happiest screen combos to come along in many a moon,, the bitter-sweet romance sparkles and crackles with high spirits. Picture for the most part maintains a good pace, though it's overlong for several scenes. Particularly the final song number not only could but should be cut. It slows up and interrupts the mood building to the climax, which is played and directed with great sensitivity and excellent taste. Story has Grant and Miss Kerr fall in love aboard ship, though both are engaged to other people. They decide to meet in six months atop the Empire State Building. Meanwhile, Grant, a faintly notorious bachelor, is to change his life in a more useful direction. He shows up for the rendezvous, but she is struck by a car on her way to the meeting and may never walk again. Disappointed, he leaves, thinking she's changed her mind. Eventually he returns and the film heads for a happy ending as Grant discovers the truth. Director McCarey, who with Delmer Daves wrote the screenplay, has done a fine job with this picture, though for some reason or other he cut short most of the romantic clinches between the principals. One lengthy shot has them kissing for the first time, but only their legs are shown on a ship's stairway. Several other times they kiss, but the director almost seems embarrassed to make a point of it. Nevertheless, McCarey has gotten the most out of his players' talents. Both are experts in restrained, sophisticated comedy. Both are able to get a laugh by waving a hand or raising an eyebrow. The Grant-Kerr romance is never maudlin, not even at the end. It's a wholly believable relationship between two attractive people who find themselves irresistibly attracted to one another. The bit when the ship lands, and Grant and Miss Kerr critically eye their respective fiancées; the tv broadcast, when Grant is reluctantly interviewed; the scene when the two, already linked romantically by the other passengers, have their dinners separately, sitting back-to-back - all these are scenes done with a deft touch that strikes just the right note. In updating their property, McCarey and Daves have done an expert job. Grant is in top form in a made-to-order role. He's still one of the best, and one of the most attractive of stars. Also, he's perfectly cast. Miss Kerr is the cliché "never looked lovelier" or gave a better performance. Picture will add to her stature. Rest of the cast are all fine. Cathleen Nesbitt plays the grandmother with dignity and heart; Richard Denning is sympathetic in a somewhat improbable role; Neva Patterson is striking as the millionairess engaged to Grant; Robert Q. Lewis comes off well as the tv interviewer. Charles Watt registers as the intruding passenger. Milton Krasner's lensing is tiptop, and so is the DeLuxe color, which is fresh and natural. Song, "An Affair to Remember," is sung by Vic Damone. It was written by Harry Warren, with lyrics by Harold Adamson and McCarey. Miss Kerr sings a couple of numbers in a nightclub and the main theme runs effectively throughout the film. It's also performed during a tender little scene (with a profusion of close-ups) involving Miss Nesbitt at the piano, Grant and Miss Kerr. This is Jerry Wald's first as an indie for 20th-Fox. Picture can't help being a hit. But, equally important, it's a production that 20th can be proud to sell. From the hilarious beginning (radio commentators in New York, Rome and London disclosing Grant's engagement in their individual styles) to the sock ending, this is the kind of ears-and-laughter film that exhibitors will call a boon for the business.
