AFI Movie Club: AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER
Watch Cameron Crowe talk about the classic film AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER. DID YOU KNOW? AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER is a remake of the 1939 RKO picture LOVE AFFAIR, starring Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer. Director Leo McCarey helmed both productions and used the same script that he co-wrote with Delmer Daves and Donald Ogden Stewart. DID YOU KNOW? AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER omitted Donald Ogden Stewart’s onscreen writing credits because he was blacklisted by the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) as an alleged Communist at the time. Stewart also contributed to the 1939 version, LOVE AFFAIR, for which he received an onscreen credit. DID YOU KNOW? AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER – a remake itself – was remade again in 1994 as LOVE AFFAIR, starring Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. This second remake featured Katharine Hepburn’s final onscreen appearance before her death in 2003. DID YOU KNOW? Portions of AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER appeared in the 1993 film SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, as romantic inspiration for the Meg Ryan’s character Annie. DID YOU KNOW? AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER was honored with four Oscar® nominations for Music (Song), Music (Scoring), Cinematography and Costume Design, marking costume designer Charles LeMaire’s fourteenth of 16 Oscar® nominations over the short span of only nine years which included multiple nominations per year. LeMaire won Oscars® for ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), THE ROBE (1953), and LOVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING (1955). Learn more at the AFI Catalog.
