An Affair to Remember

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,

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.

A beautiful DVD if you like romantic films, a memorable film to have.

Love this DVD, so happy with it

good

Excellent classic movie with great movie stars always puts a lump in your throat

A beautiful classic that I am so glad to have on dvd!

Really good film makes me cry every time I see it so much better than the films that are out now

この曲を聴くと自動的に泣いてしまう映画の一つ 最後は号泣します。泣きたい方はコレクションに是非 サブスクに色々入っていますが、なぜかこっちの「めぐり逢い」が 見れなくなっているので安いし購入しました。満足。

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.

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.

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.

A classic. Love that movie.
