Why didn Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr kiss in the movie Affair To Remember?
In the reservoir of top romantic movies for Valentines Day, ‘an affair to remember’ occupies a supreme position. The credit for its wonderful direction goes to Leo McCarey. The star cast of this superb movie includes Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Richard Denning, Neva Patterson and Cathleen Nesbitt. The movie revolves around Nickie Ferrante (Cary Grant), a well-known playboy. While being on the ocean liner, he happens to meet Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr).
