AFFAIR TO REMEMBER 23 April 2001 Most of you (except the one who has the videotape and won't watch it) know the scene. Cary Grant stands at the apartment door and you see an idea pass thru his mind. He puts his coat down, keeps talking nervously. Deborah Kerr sits on the couch watching him. His eyes dart around the room, he keeps talking, and then he opens the bedroom door, sees the painting, and it all hits him. He puts his head back against the door and closes his eyes. In the room around me comes the sound of kleenex being pulled from the box, and sniffles snuffling. We are both red-eyed as the movie comes to and end. Diane made the mistake today of telling me she'd never seen the original Affair to Remember. She had seen the Warren Beatty/Annette Bening 1994 version, but while Beatty didn't (thank god!) do to Affair to Remember what Streisand did to A Star Is Born, I was still appalled that she hadn't seen the real movie, and so I rushed out to Blockbuster to rent it and make sure that her cultural education was completed before I leave tomorrow. Watching the movie was a nice way to pass a rainy afternoon in Seattle. We were so lucky that we went to see the tulips yesterday, because while they would still be spectacular today, it wouldn't be nearly as photogenic as it was yesterday. In the morning, my friend Mary came over to pick me up and take me to lunch. We went to a mall, the name of which I forget, which had a large new/used book store combined with a food court. It was the perfect place for lunch. We opted for the Japanese booth. Mary ordered tofu ramen and I had shrimp/vegetable tempura. When the meals were ready, my tempura was so huge and caused such a stir that Mary was stopped by one group of people and asked what it was and people at two tables near us asked me what it was.![]() One
