Considered one of the most romantic films of all time, An Affair to Remember is the perfect antidote to post-Christmas blues.
Nickie Ferrante (Cary Grant) and Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) are two strangers who meet aboard a transatlantic ocean liner. Despite being involved with other people, they form a friendship and soon fall in love. Deciding to see if their whirlwind affair will stand the test of time, they agree to split up and then meet in six months times at the top of the Empire State Building. But a tragic accident prevents their rendezvous and the lovers' future takes an emotional and uncertain turn.
