One Paragraph Movie Review: An Affair To Remember

Eighth film: An Affair To Remember, a film notorious for having the ending spoiled by Sleepless In Seattle. In it, Deborah Kerr shows that having mum-hair and a wheelchair needn’t be a barrier to love. Or cheating on your fiance, or being in love with a terrible painter whose gran relentlessly tries to ship you with super-tanned Cary Grant. The movie is soppy as hell, and includes a ridiculous blue-collar thug stereotype (“I’m so stupid I ain’t even ignorant”) and a spectacularly annoying brat choir that sings too often. Look, it’s fine. It kind of glorifies cheating, but also magnificent frocks, so I’ll give it a pass. Two and a half little shrivelled legs out of five.
