73. An Affair to Remember
Sat Sep 22, 2018, 06:54 PM
Sep 2018

with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. They meet on a transatlantic liner sailing, fall in love, and agree to meet 6 months later at the top of the Empire State Building if their feelings don't change. Her husband and his fiancée are waiting at the dock to greet them upon their return. She never makes it to the ESB, leaving him to wonder why. After time passes, they cross paths while out in public, each with another, which leads him to search for her address. He pays a surprise visit to her on Christmas Eve and learns why she didn't show up at their appointed time. He brings her a shawl that belonged to his grandmother, who they visited together during a stopover on their voyage. During this visit, he realizes why she hadn't shown up...and then my sobbing starts.

Sleepless in Seattle was actually based upon this movie.

I've probably seen this movie at least two dozen times or more, and it still tears me apart.
