An Affair to Remember is a 1957 remake (starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr) of the 1937 film Love Affair (which starred Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne). Both were directed by Leo McCarey, who died on this date in 1969 from emphysema at the age of 70. To be honest, I much prefer the earlier film (available free at Tubi). The remake is not available free through any service I subscribe to, but I used to see it offered on network television back in the day.

Rotten Tomatoes has an audience consensus score of 87%. It's in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.

...I remember this one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the Cary Grant version was a remake.
ReplyDeletePushed enter too fast😺 . My mother would have loved the furniture in the picture. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a fave! Sleepless in Seattle riffs off this one, too!
ReplyDeleteAnother movie (well, two movies) that I would like to see some day. But I’m hardly watching anything these days.

ReplyDeleteI saw that a long time ago and I remember that I liked it. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of it but didn't know it was a re-make. The screenshot is perfect for T-Day. And as CJKennedy mentions, the furniture is indeed beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day,
Hugs,

Not a film I know but two popular actors in Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I saw it at TNT years ago. I think they show it every so often on that cable channel. Thanks for sharing the screen shot with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nita.
ReplyDeleteIt has been ages since I saw this movie but maybe I should watch it again. The problem is finding the time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
I know I watched this a long time ago, but I don't really remember it. I'm terrible at remembering movies unless I watch them like 10 times. Hope it was a happy T day.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite movies of all time! I have seen it many times! Did you see Sleepless in Seatle? They talk about this movie, and that one is another favorite of mine! And Carry Grant is my favorite of all time! :) Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteYes. I kept having Sleepless in Seattle recommended to me but kept putting it off since I don't tend to like rom coms. Once I finally watched it I was glad I did :)

We got called out of town unexpectedly ... to help round up cattle of all things...lol.. So yeah its after 10 pm and i'm gonna drag my butt to bed soon! Happy happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI love anything with Cary Grant! Just listening to his voice makes it good. Lovely share for T-day! Wonder what today's remake of this would be like....Happy T-day! Hugz

I've heard of this movie with Cary Grant some many times, I really need to see this to enhance my "old black & white" knowledge.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best movies ever.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this film on TV a few times, but quite a while ago. It's a great rainy Sunday afternoon film! I loved it when it was featured in Sleepless in Seattle. Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWinter must be cold for those with no warm memories *sigh*, great tragic romance, Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
