Cary Grant

Thrilling, funny, and romantic; it elevates popcorn adventure to art...defines the ideal use of star power....[and] marries deadly intrigue to out-and-out delight.

A delightfully old-school comic thriller and an unlikely romance that proved Grant—then in his late fifties—still had it.

'Weepies' may not be high art, but for those who love them, An Affair to Remember is the Mona Lisa.

Hasn't aged especially well. Still, on the strength of Grant and co-lead Tony Curtis, Edwards' film remains a diverting enough escape from reality.
