This month we discussed An Affair to Remember - 1957 movie with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr Handsome playboy Nicky Ferrante (Cary Grant) and beautiful night club singer Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) have a romance while on a cruise from Europe to New York. Despite being engaged to other people, both agree to reunite at the top of the Empire State Building in six months. However, an unfortunate accident keeps Terry from the reunion, and Nicky fears that she has married or does not love him anymore. Will he discover the truth behind her absence and reunite with his one true love, or has fate and destiny passed them by?
Everyone in our book group liked this DVD. Yes, they thought the character’s dialog and actions were dated and typical of the 1950’s, but all agreed it was a classic love story. We talked about how the plot is good and thought provoking even 50 years after its release. It was a nice mix of light and dramatic moments. Cary Grant, even slightly older, is still fun to watch. We enjoyed this film. Watch and have tissues ready.
