But unfortunately for his bride-to-be, while he's traveling alone on a luxury liner he meets Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) and realizes he's engaged to the wrong woman--and she's engaged to the wrong man. They finally agree to spend six months apart; if they still love each other at the end of that time, they will reunite at the top of the Empire State Building. But the path of true love does not always run smooth, and tragedy threatens to tear the couple apart. Leo McCarey directed both the original (LOVE AFFAIR) and this remake, and viewers often amiably battle over which film is the more touching. This much-loved film features the Academy Award-nominated title song and a splendid supporting cast. [More]

Reviews for An Affair to Remember
Romantic and over the top, but Cary Grant excels in these situations and it almost saves a movie that seemed to lose its way.
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan...have nothing on Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.
Cheapened by the many references in Sleepless in Seattle, An Affair to Remember plays much better than you might imagine.
...the kind of film you don't see much anymore, an old-fashioned love story.
In spite of the flaws and could-have-beens, there is no denying that the final scene of the movie is very touching, albeit in an utterly mawkish and obscenely sentimental way.
