The Bardavon will continue its 13th season of presenting classic films on the big screen with An Affair to Remember this Friday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m. Arrive at the Bardavon at 7 p.m. for a pre-film concert on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ. All films in the Bardavon Friday Film Series are preceded by these mini-concerts, which are presented exclusively by the New York Theatre Organ Society.

An Affair to Remember is a 1957 film starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as Nickie Ferrante (Grant), a well-known playboy and dilettante in the arts, and Terry McKay (Kerr), a nightclub singer-turned-music-teacher, who meet aboard an ocean liner. Each is engaged to marry someone else. After a series of chance meetings aboard the ship, they establish a friendship.

When Terry joins Nickie on a brief visit to his grandmother when the ship anchors near her home on the Mediterranean coast, she sees Nickie with new eyes and their feelings blossom into love. As the ship reaches New York City they agree to reunite at the top of the Empire State Building in six months’ time, if they have succeeded in ending their relationships and starting new careers. But what will happen?

The film is considered one of the most romantic of all time, according to the American Film Institute. All seats are $5 and general admission.
