CARY GRANT and DEBORAH KERR ~ AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER

I like this movie very much. This is a remake of Love Affair the 1939 release and it was remade again after this version. I have only seen this one and the third one called Love Affair with Annette Bening and Warren Beatty.

According to TCM, Turner Classic Movies, this is the favorite version of the three versions. Starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.

This is a romantic movie, with no sex, and the most sensual scene with a kiss. we only see fully clothed people standing on a staircase and only see their legs, arm and hand movement momentarily. And yet it is a scene that leaves me fully satisfied and thrilled.

Cary Grant was born Archibald Alexander Leach (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986) was an English-American actor. Apparently he was more romantically successful in his career than in real life. He was married five times.

According to wikipedia ~
Archibald Alexander Leach was born in Horfield, Bristol, to Elsie Maria Kingdon (1877–1973) and Elias James Leach (1873–1935). An only child, he had an unhappy childhood, attending Bishop Road Primary School. His mother had suffered from depression since the death of a previous child. Her husband placed her in a mental institution, and told his nine-year-old son only that she had gone away on a "long holiday"; it was not until he was 31 that Grant discovered her alive, in an institutionalized care facility. For more from wikipedia click on the post title.

Cary Grant (articles about Cary Grant at this link) and previews of two books coming out, one by his only child, Jennifer Grant (released May 3, 2011) and one by Jennifer's mom and Cary's fourth wife, Dyan Cannon (released September 13, 2011).

  1. I am a little confused with this movie (An affair to remember) because I recall that the first time I watched this movie he (Gary Grant) was a multi millionaire and she was an executive secretary, and now I watch the movie (same) one again but this time he is an artist and she sings in a night club....was this movie made with different versions????
