Movie: An Affair to Remember

[amedia]

Somehow I had gotten the impression--perhaps from Sleepless in Seattle--that An Affair to Remember was a syrupy melodrama through and through, but figured it was pretty much a necessity to watch, having seen Sleepless, so we got it from Netflix. What a pleasant surprise! It started out very witty and gradually became more serious, but never lost its sparkle. I quite enjoyed it.

1. Never underestimate Deborah Kerr.

a. The King and I
b. Night of the Iguana
c. From Here To Eternity

(Was that the same woman? Yes!)

2. Never underestimate a British man who came from a working class background and makes it big in films. Even in a bad film their work ethic is so strong they give a good performance.

a. Cary Grant
b. Michael Caine
