Rosana B Assistindo simultaneamente, porem alternadamente, Love Affair, de 1939 e seu remake An Affair to Remember, de 1957, ambos mantém a mesma ideia e até mesmo a repetição dos diálogos, sendo a versão de 57 levemente, mas expandida com acréscimo de duração, a versão colorizada de 39 o aproxima ainda mais ao seu sucessor, tanto na qualidade técnica quanto no desempenho final… Tão lindo, comovente, trágico, dramático e romântico, a moda antiga… Fofo... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Gertrude F A chick flick, yes, but a very good one at that. Originally, I gave this film four stars, but I've realised- just the soundtrack alone is five... best soundtrack ever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Jack B A genuine tearjerker. Grant and Kerr have "chemistry" and make convincing what might be an outlandish scenario. Yes, I cried at the ending…helped along by the very moving theme song. This really is a must-see romance movie. Even if you are the world's most unromantic viewer. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review John E I don't like Sleepless in Seattle. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like romcoms, chick flicks or love stories. That's not the issue at all. I simply don't like Sleepless in Seattle. I don't think it is a good movie and I find the character of Annie Reed to be a vexatious ninny, and quite frankly, a little creepy. Because of this, I've never really had much of an ambition to see An Affair to Remember, a movie that is referenced and quoted at nauseum throughout Sleepless in Seattle. That being said, An Affair to Remember ended up on my 2023 film journey through recommendation. And I must admit that I'm glad that it did! Sure, it's a bit saccharin and astoundingly chaste, but damn, the acting is magnificent. The chemistry between Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is phenomenal (Grant took the role just so he could act with Kerr again). Both actors are at the top of their game. Cary Grant plays completely against type in this film. I jest! He plays a debonaire bachelor (what else?!) named Nickie Ferrante. Nickie has decided to retire his lothario-ways and settle down with a rich heiress. Kerr plays Terry McCay, a nightclub singer who, like Nickie, has decided to accept an offer of marriage (and domesticity) from a well-to-do suiter. Nickie and Terry meet by chance when they are both traveling alone aboard an ocean liner traveling from Europe to the United States. The duo share some witty repartee and discover they enjoy each other's company. Terry eventually joins Nickie as he visits his grandmother when the ship anchors near her home in the Mediterranean (this extended scene was by far my favorite). Eventually the trip is over, and Terry and Nickie realize that they have fallen in love. They depart the ship after making a pact that they shall meet each other at the top of the Empire State Building in six months if their current relationships don't work and their love for each other doesn't subside. Tragedy prevents the two from meeting, and their lives go on, each of them thinking they are doing what is best for the other by moving on with their lives apart. At this point the film becomes quite cloying and engages in full on melodrama. The ending is predictable, but one is too vested at this point to not see it through! The final scene is a full out onslaught of wrap-it-up schmaltz, but it's ultimately still a much more rewarding experience than having to see a single moment of Sleepless in Seattle ever again! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review X O Why do people care about Cary and Deborah getting together? Laughing at them at dinner? That is disgusting. Outside of the nosey bastrds on the boat, the rest is great. Not the best romance film of the 50s, but nice all the same. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Anthony J My mother's favourite movie. The shipboard dialogue and acting are superb. The story is little, maybe a lot, far fetched and contrived. The whole thing is badly dated - do men on a cruse ship vacation all wear suits and tie, the women, evening gowns and heels. I don't think they did, even back then. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
