An Affair To Remember - Remakes

Remakes

• The 1965 Bollywood film Bheegi Raat, starring Ashok Kumar, Meena Kumari and Pradeep Kumar, was inspired by this film.

• Nora Ephron's 1993 film Sleepless in Seattle, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, was partly inspired by An Affair to Remember, particularly the ending. References, clips and the theme song from the earlier film are used throughout.

• A 1994 remake, reverting to the original title of Love Affair, starred Warren Beatty (who also wrote and produced), featured his wife Annette Bening as the female protagonist, and also featured Katharine Hepburn in a small but pivotal role, which would prove to be her last screen appearance.

• Mann, a 1999 Bollywood film starring Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala, was almost a scene-by-scene copy of this film.

• In 2009, the HBO film Grey Gardens licensed an aerial shot of The Pierre Hotel from this film.

• The Climax of 1980 Bollywood movie Ek Baar Kaho is inspired by the movie's climax.

• The popular teen drama Gossip Girl features an episode in season three titled, "You can't 'An Affair to Remember' Me!" where the characters Chuck and Blair decide to rekindle their love and agree to meet on top of the Empire State Building at 5:00pm, just like the movie. However, Blair is unable to meet Chuck because her maid goes into labor on their way there. This results in their "final break-up".
