Okay so suddenly the movie "An Affair to Remember," has jumped to the front of the line for favorite Cary Grant movie. I haven't ever seen a romance that was so incredible in my whole entire life... and if you think about it 16 years and nine months is quite a bit of time. The movie is about a young Casanova (Cary Grant) named Nicky Ferrante who is on a cruise from his home in New York to Italy to visit his aging grandma. On the same ship is a young singer named Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) who just happens to be taking the same trip. She does not want to get mixed up in a guy like Nicky but they happen to run into each other quite often on the ship and soon fall in love. Waiting at home Nicky is engaged to a very wealthy heiress (whom he doesn't love) and Terry has a boyfriend. Terry and Nicky truly fall in love on the ship and spend their entire time in Italy together. They decide that it would be in their best interest to leave each other for six months when they arrive home so that they can save up the money they need to get married and promise each other that after that six months is over they will meet on the 102nd floor of the Empire State building. They work hard to keep the promise but on that day Terry is in a tragic accident.... You must watch the rest if you are interested. It is utterly AMAZING!
Movies today just don't appeal to me. I am not interested in the superheroes they are currently displaying, or the horrors, or even what they call "romances." Men in the 50's seem like they would be so much easier to fall in love with because they are such gentlemen. Just look at Cary <3 the perfect idol for all men. I never worry about what I am going to see in the classics because the producers would not allow anything crude or vulgar. I would recommend "An Affair to Remember," to anyone because it is so marvelous!
