An Affair To Remember is the opposite of satire in every way; it has the romantic spirit in it that few films have, and it is the actors and this music that push it into the realm of greatness for its genre. It was a film that became nostalic in the year it was made; the music was old when composed, and still has that edge of memory to it which is so much the mother of the imagination..of romance and all that that word means.

A great score and great opening song sung by Vic Damone, and a lavish reprise by Marni Nixon and Deborah Kerr(a mix) that carries one over tome and spacve for a while and lets us think about love and desire on terms that are essentially sad and, like the ending of the film, not ever fulfilled.
Buy this one!

Compare this music and film to the Warren Beatty re-make of 1995 and see how fabulous Grant and Kerr and their music are.

After watching the movie and listening to the music, I knew that I would have to get the CD and was I ever not disappointed. My favorite song The Tiny Scout. I would recommend this CD to anyone. Most of the CD is instrumental music but there is also some vocal. Overall, if you have watched the movie then when you listen to this CD you will remember all of the music. This in my opinion is a classic.

Did not include the French version of the movies theme. That was the reason for my purchase. Thus, it really isn't the COMPLETE soundtrack of the movie
