An Affair to Remember
1957
***½
Director: Leo McCarey
Cast: Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Richard Denning, Neva Patterson, Cathleen Nesbitt, Robert Q. Lewis, Charles Watts, Fortunio Bonanova
Nickie and Terry meet on a transatlantic cruise, fall in love, and agree to sort out their lives and reunite six months later, but tragedy intervenes in their plans. It's second time lucky for Leo McCarey, who created this melodrama by remaking his own 1939 film Love Affair. The believable characters and the slow-burning romance have made this an enduring classic. It was remade as Love Affair, and it inspired Sleepless in Seattle.
