I had to have my wife explain this one to me. She, of course, remembers it vividly. It's cool that there's no cut-away to what Grant sees when he opens the door.
He sees the portrait he painted of her through the mirror and a wheelchair. No I am the world's worst typist. Field of Dreams is another one. Love Deborah Kerr. She had so much dignity.
Got me again, but I've seen this one a few times (always gets me) ... so does the end of the original Miracle on 34th when we see the cane ... what a big sucker I remain!
I know this is a legendary weepie but I've never seen it and don't quite get it. Actually I was thinking this was the one where Grant was supposed to meet Kerr at the top of the Empire State Building but she never showed up. What's that one?
I'm reminded of that hilarious scene in "Sleepless in Seattle" where Rita Wilson is telling her movie-husband and Tom Hanks about "An Affair to Remember" and crying. A minute later Tom Hanks and the husband begin talking about how they get emotional over the movie "Dirty Dozen."

ReplyDeleteNo tears here. So what did he see? A wheelchair? Iron Lung? Barbia collection?
ReplyDeleteI meant Barbie collection. I swear I'm the world's worst typist.
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful to see Deborah Kerr--fun fact: I was named for her (yes indeed!)
ReplyDeleteNO tears here either.
ReplyDeleteNow show Field of Dreams and that's another story.

ReplyDeleteOh, Miracle is terrific. My favorite Christmas movie except for A CHRISTMAS STORY.

ReplyDeleteThat is this one. She never showed up and this is the last scene explaining why.

ReplyDelete...
I always think of that scene. I love when one movie refers to another. Or book. It puts things in the reel or real world for me.
