An Affair to Remember

Contrary to what the title wanted me to believe, this is an affair I'll quickly forget. McCarey delivers an incredibly stuffy and old-fashioned romance that feels at least a decade(if not two) older than its release date. And if that wasn't enough, there's even a children's choir, singing songs. Ugh.

Nickie is a real charmer, who does well with the ladies. On a cruise from Europe to the US, he bumps into Terry, a former singer. There's a real spark between the two, but Terry is on her way to New York to meet up with her boyfriend. Even so, they can't seem to forget about each other.

Grant and Kerr are incredibly stiff, the cinematography is boring as hell, the colors are dull and muted and the soundtrack is an absolute eye-sore (even without the choir). It's a very dialogue-heavy film, which sucks when you don't care about any of the characters or their troubled romance. Very bad.
