... Composer John Williams gives the highest praise to the theme song of An affair to Remember "Our Love Affair " when he says here of all the songs written for movies this one "conjures the image and atmosphere of the film" the best. And then Josh Groban will sing it for you.
... When Deborah Kerr sings in An Affair to Remember it is really the voice of Marni Nixon you are hearing. We wonder how people in the fifties didn't notice that all the actresses singing sounded suspiciously alike since she dubbed so many roles. Marni Nixon is still working. She did the singing voice of Grandmother Fa in Mulan. You can listen to her in an interview about her career here
