Brunch and a Movie

On the French Riviera! Across an ocean! And all over New York! You’ll love every moment of Leo McCary’s An Affair to Remember! Marketing was so confident and so pure back in 1957, wasn’t it? Movie stars certainly were. In this case, it’s Carey Grant and Deborak Kerr with chemistry to burn in this touching classic playing at the Capitol Theatre at 10 a.m. as part of Cleveland Cinemas’ Sunday Brunch series. Grant and Kerr fall in love on a transatlantic ocean liner but are both involved with other people! They decide to meet 6 months hence on the top of the Empire State Building if their situations change and their love endures. What happens next is the stuff of cinematic lore, and is likely the reason An Affair to Remember is No. 5 on AFI’s Most Romantic Movies list. (Allard).
