Summary: Better than I anticipated....
Review: "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr has a lot to offer. I was skeptical when my wife brought this video home for "us" to watch, but I decided to give it an honest try. Once the movie got underway, and the character development started to take place, I became interested. There was more to Grant than a womanizing cad (thought it took a while for him to shake that image in the movie), and Kerr came across as a world-wise, yet innocent (in a sense), former night club singer.

While they are both committed to other people, Grant and Kerr meet and fall in love on a ship cruising from Europe to America.

Some of the dialogue and situations appear to be somewhat contrived, but the acting and story line development stirs true emotion.

This is probably not a movie for the bump and grind Monday Night Football crowd, but it is both watchable and enjoyable. Maybe I was primed to watch it by seeing "Sleepless in Seattle" recently, a movie that my wife and I both enjoy.

Anyway, give this movie a chance...it's somewhat dated, but it's still got something to offer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everyone loves this movie - even us guys
Review: Yes, I'm a guy and I love this movie. I will only share it with a girlfriend once I determine she's special because I know she'll see me in a different light and the relationship will be forever changed.

I once saw "An Affair to Remember" end with Cary Grant carrying Deborah Kerr up the stairs of the grandmother's villa instead of ending with the tearful scene on the couch. Only one other person I know has seen that version. Does anyone else remember that scene?

The film was shown on the American Movie Classics cable network in its original Widescreen format February 1994. I owned a VHS copy in the widescreen format but an ex girlfriend made off with that copy. I haven't been able to find another since. Anyone know where I could find either of these copies?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We all know it's great, but does anyone have the version...
Review: I once saw An Affair to Remember end not with the tearful scene on the couch, but with Cary Grant carrying Deborah Kerr up the stairs of the grandmother's villa. "Is she still paralyzed, or is he carrying her over the thresh-hold" I asked. Didn't matter. One person I know saw that version. Anyone else? Anyone know where I can get a copy?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Truly Wonderful Movie! A Real Gem! A Must Have!
Review: This is a one of a kind movie. It's one of my all time favorite movies. I've seen it atleast a dozen times and it's just as good each time. I find myself hoping she'll make it to the top of the Empire State Building each time I watch it. The performances are outstanding; genuine and heartfelt. I just love this movie and can't speak highly enough about it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An extrodinary combination of true love and heartache.
Review: Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr provide the perfect combination of humor and drama in this incredible classic. Fashions and music highlight the times and make you wish you could live in another era.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "If you can paint, I can walk, anything's possible!"
Review: Oh, what do you say about a movie like this? It is so wonderful! My aunt recommended it to me when I was about 13 years old (I've always been addicted to classic movies, especially romantic ones) and I have loved it ever since. What a love story. It is definitely the most romantic movie I have ever seen.

Recommended for anyone who likes this movie: Roman Holiday, Casablanca (You have got to be a TRUE romantic to like both of those) A Walk in the Clouds, Pillow Talk. By the way, the 1994 remake of An Affair to Remember, called Love Affair, isn't that great. You can watch it, but you will definitely be disappointed. If you like Cary Grant, watch People will Talk or That Touch of Mink.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: sweetness and glamour
Review: You know that every Hollywood gimmick of creating sentimentality is being used here, but you love that it's happening and you don't want it to end. Cary Grant is glamourous (if all men looked as good in a suit as he does, that's all we would wear!) and Ms. Kerr is so sweet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest romance movie ever!!
Review: I first saw this movie, when I was 18 years old, with my mother. I have always been a classic movie buff, specifically musicals. I remember watching the movie and crying through a lot of it with my mom. I always wanted my husband-to-be a classic movie buff, as well. On Christmas Eve 1997, the movie came on and I asked him if he would watch it with me. To my shock, he did and he loved it. That was when I knew I had found my husband. It is my all time favorite movie ever and I am now 25. I will always love this movie and take it everywhere I go.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very romantic movie!
Review: Though not my favorite of Cary Grant's movies, I love watching this one. Deborah Kerr was absolutely wonderful, and Cary, as usual, was the greatest lover and best actor. My favorite part was the scene where they were with his grandmother in that beautiful house and yard. I recomend this to any one who has a deeply romantic side. --Carrie, age 18

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Classic!!!
Review: The entire movie is so good. But it is the last scene when Teri says: "Don't cry. If you can paint, I can walk." I just love that -- it always chokes me up and makes my eyes water -- because it expresses what real love does: it inspires. I know that some like to compare Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's "Sleepless in Seattle" to this film, but there truly is no comparison, as "Sleepless in Seattle" lacks the charm and class of "Affair to Remember."
