Watch An Affair to Remember For Free

Admirable film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Old Hollywood. Nowadays the story is totally unconvincing even for a romantic comedy. Why would a serious person want Nickie if he is the playboy everyone thinks he is? And the visit to the sweet little old grandma and praying together there is unconvincing reason to suddenly want to marry someone! They have hardly left her then they are incredibly speaking of marriage and ending their current relationships. As for Nickie not even worrying about if something had happened to Terry....Why? I saw this in the '60s and loved it but the intervening years have not been kind to it. It's very slight I'm afraid.

While there have been countless films about shipboard romances, An Affair to Remember is perhaps the most famous. Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant meet on a cruise ship, and even though Cary's a notorious playboy and Deborah's practically engaged to another man, they fall in love. The scenes on the ship are the most adorable of the film. They try to hide their romance from prying eyes by eating at separate tables and walking in opposite directions when they're seen together, even when they have to stop talking mid-sentence!While the ship scenes are very cute, the rest of the movie is a drama, so be prepared when you rent it for a light-hearted afternoon. This is the second of three version of the film, the first in 1939 with Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne, and the third in 1994 with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, but I like this version the best. It's not my favorite classic romance, but it's a classic you'll probably want to watch if you a fan of Cary or Deborah. I like their third pairing in the comedy The Grass is Greener best, because I like seeing Deborah's hidden comic talents. This movie really is a must see, though, especially if you've ever sat through the 90s classic Sleepless in Seattle. This iconic, tearjerker ending has been included in many a romance montage.Parts of the movie feel a little boring, namely when Cary takes Deborah to meet his grandmother, Cathleen Nesbitt. Since I don't really find his character particularly sympathetic, I'm not really moved when Cathleen talks about how sweet he really is underneath his cool, playboy persona. But, to each his own. Give it a watch, and even if you don't end up liking it, there's a good chance you'll, well, remember it.

I saw this film for the first time when I was about 12 years old. To me, it was then, and still is at the top of the list for all romantic movies. When I was 12 I didn't really understand why this story affected me so deeply. It was only after I was older that I realized that Cary Grant had the ability to seem more deeply in love with his leading lady than any other actor of his era. He also had an incredible on-screen chemistry with Deborah Kerr.Although this film is certainly dated, by today's standards, in some of the language (for example, the conversation at the beginning where Terry McKay claims to not having an understanding of business and the newscaster who talks about Ferrante getting "all that lettuce and a luscious tomato, too, in regard to his engagement), the repartee' between the main characters is entertaining and even the children from the orphanage are a charming diversion while we are waiting to see if these two ever get together. Some have said the scene where the 2 black orphans do some dance steps in the middle of their performance of "The Tiny Scout", is racist. While it is certainly stereotypical of the treatment of African-Americans of that era in film, I don't think of it as racist. I think it is more because the Civil Rights movement was still in its infancy. I think this was a sincere, if misguided, effort to show some diversity, but, by today's standards it comes across as glaringly stereotypical and awkward.The last scene of this movie is, of course, the one that brings most women and some men to tears. I can remember the first time I watched it ("Saturday Night at the Movies"), I was sure Cary Grant was going to leave without finding out that Deborah Kerr couldn't walk. I have probably seen this movie at least 20 times and that scene can still bring tears to my eyes. All in all, this movie is, as I said earlier, the epitome of love stories. It captures the heart and makes you believe, if only for the duration of the movie, that love really does conquer all.

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER is a romantic drama, which is too fabulous for a serious reaction. A famous womanizer from high society travels by ship from London to New York to marry his latest fiancée. He meets, on the ship, an elegant and lovely lady, who openly mocks his seductive tricks. However, they fall in love and decide to meet again at a specific location...A solid story is superficially processed. Some scenes, despite the conspicuous absence of depth, are quite sentimental. Dialogues are too "delicious" and predictable. Emotions are not sufficiently matured, while the protagonists do not show enough sincerity, spontaneity and sexual attraction.Well, this is a remake of a better and more famous film from 1939. Mr. McCarey may have tried to bring a sense of romantic illusions for the viewers. He does not care about probabilities in the second part of the film. Illogical gaps appear in the story. Grant and Kerr, despite poor characterization, have a good chemistry.Cary Grant as Nicolò (Nickie) Ferrante was polished and charming. Womanizer is genuinely in love for the first time in his life. The character, who for love is changing his habits. Deborah Kerr as Terry McKay is seemingly an independent woman with clear views. However, she is actually too romantic. An elegant and beautiful woman confronts the challenge, which is called love.Honestly, the experience and the chemistry of the main actors have saved this movie. This is one solid romantic story, which is characterized as one of the best romantic movies of all time. I think that such a status of this film is exaggerated.
