What Parents Need to Know

About An Affair to Remember

Parents need to know that this is an adult story, probably too dated to engage kids. Scenes dealing with Terry's shame over her injury and refusal to tell Nicky the truth are emotionally charged. Teens who enjoy classic romances and old movie stars may like this one.

    I don't know what to say.

    This is a adult movie. I did not watch it. It is supposed to be NR as others have said. Kissing, iffy.
