An Affair to Remember-1957<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Leo McCarey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #105<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed July 12, 2014<\/p>\n

Grade: B<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Affair to Remember (1957) is an excellent example of how romantic comedies have changed.<\/p>\n

‘rom-com’ is not my genre of choice as typically they are clich\u00e9d and predictable. The romantic comedies in years past were vastly different, containing a glamorous innocence lacking in today’s generic rom-com.<\/p>\n

In An Affair to Remember, the charisma of Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr makes the movie. They portray two strangers who take a luxury cruise and inexplicably fall madly in love despite having significant others at home.<\/p>\n

The couple wine and dine with each other, revel in merriment for a week and make a pact that if they don’t forget each other in a year, they will meet at the top of the Empire State Building on a specified day and time.<\/p>\n

It does not get much more romantic than that.<\/p>\n

The extravagance of the gorgeous sets on the cruise ship makes the film a visually satisfying experience. In my book, any movie set in New York City, as the second half does, is a plus.<\/p>\n

An Affair to Remember is not a cutting-edge film, though for 1957, adultery may have raised a few eyebrows, but rather a pleasant, warm romantic comedy of the past.<\/p>\n

It’s meant to sit back and escape with a sappy, sweet, fun romance.<\/p>\n
