Starring Deborah Kerr & Cary Grant
I am a modern movie fanatic guilty of only watching this movie thanks to years of watching Sleepless in Seattle. I have finished Sleepless saying either to myself or to whoever may have been watching it with me "I need to watch An Affair to Remember eventually" a million times or more.
This weekend after watching several other old movies I've been meaning to watch I finally sat down and decided to see what all the fuss was about. And, after the end scene had to call my sister up to tell her I had just watched the absolute BEST ENDING to a movie I have ever seen.
The scene in Sleepless in Seattle where Tom Hank's character has the end scene of an affair to remember explained to him which ends in tears and Tom Hanks looking at her in confusion and misunderstanding finally makes perfect sense to me now. I can not think of the ending of An Affair without getting teary eyed now!! I can totally imagine myself trying to explain it to another person in much the same way.
This movie up untill the ending is wonderful, the two characters have witty and clever dialogue throughout, you really believe they are the perfect match. And although they are neither one wonderful people before meeting. He is a ladies man who plays women for financial gain and she is a once teenaged night club singer who was all to used to the advances of much older men from a young age so when a boring, yet wealthy man offers to set her up financially - she agrees. But, together they bring the better and best part out of the other. That's one of the best aspects of the plot and story that really helped me fall in love with them as they fall in love with eachother.
The music was beautiful, the gowns and dresses that Deborah wore throughout the movie were amazing. This movie is, in my opinion, a must see for any vintage movie
lover who also loves a good romance.
