An Affair to Remember

Its another love story! Nickie Ferrante (Cary Grant) is traveling on a ship to meet his fiance in New York City. Nickie is charming and just loves women. He can't understand why a man should spend his entire life with one women when there are so many other women he has yet to meet! Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) is also traveling on the ship, only she is taking a trip while her boyfriend is off working. The two meet and start falling in love during the cruse, with photographers trying to catch anything that might look "suspicious".

Nickie and Terry decide that if they still love each other after six months apart, they will leave their significant others and get married. They plan to meet on top of the empire state building, but it doesn't turn out according to plan. Terry gets hit by a car trying to reach the empire building and doesn't see Nickie waiting for her. Terry can no longer walk, and has no way of connecting with Nickie, all the while Nickie believes he was stood up.

A year goes by before the two run into each other again, and Nickie is still hurt after waiting for Terry to show up, when she never did. Terry is too independent to tell him what really happened to her, believing that Nickie couldn't afford to take care of her.

I'm not going to tell you how the movie ends, your just going to have to watch it. The movie was made in 1957 and directed by Leo McCarey. It was nominated for four different Oscars and won a gold medal.

Always,

North by Northwest

This movie, I believe is Alfred Hitchcock finest accomplishment. If you like a good plot, talented actors, and films with wit and suspense, this is your answer.

In the film, Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), becomes mistaken as a man named George Kaplan. Mister Kaplan was involved with some, shall we say, dangerous men, and is about to be "knocked off". When Grant tries to make since of this misunderstanding, he gets accused of murder and is wanted by the police and men he was already running from. Little does Grant know that he has just stepped into a web of lies laid out by the government to catch the bad guys. Thornhill never existed, but now Grant gets to play the bait for the government. By the end of the movie, Grant and his leading lady (Eve Marie Saint as Eve Kendell), are dangling from Mount Rushmore.

North by Northwest (1959) won several awards and was nominated for three Oscars. Starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint in Alfred Hitchcock's best film.

Always,
Avery
