An Affair to Remember (1957)

In 1957 Leo McCarey remade his 1939 classic ‘Love Affair’.  This time around he chose for his leads Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.  The story tells of their shipboard romance, that leads the two to (wanting to test the strength of their love) want to meet in 6 months at the top of the Empire State Building.  Getting their lives togethar in the meantime, they both anticipate a happy ending, but they come to learn that “the course of true love never did run smooth”.

Always one to let his actors improvise during filming, Leo McCarey’s parring of Grant and Kerr proved a stroke of genius in this romantic/comedy/drama.
