An Affair To Remember
An Affair to Remember, director Leo McCarey's scene-for-scene remake of his own 1939 film Love Affair, isn't really an improvement on the original, but it's equally as enjoyable. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, high-profile types both engaged to be married to other people, meet and fall in love during an ocean voyage. To test the depth of their commitment to each other, Grant and Kerr promise that, if they're still in love at the end of six months, they will meet again at the top of the Empire State Building. Clips from An Affair to Remember were used as reference points throughout the 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle, which likewise concluded atop the Empire State Building. Disproving the theory that Third Time's the Charm, Warren Beatty attempted to remake Affair to Remember, again titled Love Affair, in 1994.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Remake of Love Affair, a surprisingly successful mixture of smart lines, sentiment and tears, all applied with style and assurance.

The ultra weepie, the chick flick of them all - everything is gorgeous in this movie. I defy you not to be bawling your eyes out at the end! Magic.
