CENTURY CITY, Calif. (October 31, 2007) – Celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the multi-Academy Award® nominated film An Affair To Remember, arriving as a two-disc anniversary edition DVD January 15th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Noted as one of the most romantic film of all time, An Affair To Remember stars multiple Oscar-nominated movie legends Cary Grant* (Penny Serenade, None But The Lonely Heart) and Deborah Kerr** (From Here To Eternity, The King And I) in this timeless expression of true love’s triumph against all odds. When a jet-setting playboy unexpectedly meets a beautiful ex-lounge singer, love blossoms between the two despite being engaged to other people. They arrange to meet in six months on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building to decide if they’re actually meant for each other. When an unfortunate accident prevents the meeting and the future of the star-crossed lovers seems doomed. Directed by three-time Oscar-winning director Leo McCarey, and nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Cinematography, Best Costume, Best Music, Original Song and Best Music, Scoring, An Affair To Remember is a lasting tribute to the glorious Hollywood of days past and a classic treasure to share with present and future generations.
