An Affair to Remember

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.

  8. I 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.
    Happy T-Day,
    Hugs,

  10. 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.

  11. It has been ages since I saw this movie but maybe I should watch it again. The problem is finding the time.
    Happy Tea Day,

  12. 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.

    1. Yes. 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 :)

  18. I'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
