Story Synopsis:
Suave man-about-town Nickie Ferrante (Grant), is about to put his bachelor days behind him by marrying a young heiress. That is, until he meets singer Terry McKay (Kerr) on an ocean cruise. The two fall deeply in love and, though they are both engaged, agree to meet six months later at the Empire State Building if their feelings are still the same. But fate intervenes with the two lovers’ plans and what remains is simply An Affair To Remember.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture on this 2.35:1 transfer has apparent grain with visible artifacts. Particularly annoying are the scope flashes at scene changes. Images have a natural color balance and colors are vividly rendered, if not slightly over-saturated. Fleshtones are exaggerated and the image lacks detail, particularly in the darker scenes.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The stereo sound is solid.
