Listed as one of Hollywood's top romantic comedies, Sleepless in Seattle was written and di, rected by Nora Ephron and stars Tom Hanks as Sam Baldwin and Meg Ryan as Annie Reed.
Inspired by the Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr weeper An Affair to Remember, Sleepless uses both its theme song and clips from the film in critical scenes. The film even borrows from Affair's idea of a romantic meeting at the top of the Empire State Building. The success of Sleepless in Seattle led to a resurgence in popularity for An Affair to Remember for a younger generation of filmgoers.
