An Affair to Remember. 1957. USA. Directed by Leo McCarey. Screenplay by Delmer Daves, McCarey. 115 min.

With Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Richard Denning, Neva Patterson. Having already directed Love Affair in 1939 with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, Leo McCarey revived the successful paradigm in 1957, this time with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as the lovers who agree to meet at the top of the Empire State Building, only to be kept apart by a series of unfortunate events. Grant and Kerr are exceptional, mixing elegance and understated grace with discomfiture and self-consciousness.

This film accompanies Modern Matinees: Mr. Cary Grant.
