No, not My Sister Eileen. Another hint: The customer is a professional athlete.

Oooh. Did the leading man just recently go into the wine business?
I'm logging off for the evening -so if your answer is "yes", and somebody[/i] else answers, he/she can have the next question.

It is still a tough question, Roberta.
Despite Raggedy's hint, I still can't figure it out.

I thought for sure that raggedy's hints would give it away. Okey dokey.
This was a pivotal scene in the movie. When the counterman tells the customer (a boxer--the two-legged kind) that he has to pay for the soda, it's a metaphor suggesting that when you do something wrong, you have to suffer the consequences--pay for your actions.
C'mon guys. How many leading men are in the food/wine business?

A leading man from the 1950s would have to be at least in his 70s now. I remember Marlon Brando was a boxer in On the Waterfront, but I do not recall him having anything to do with wine...

Yes, in his seventies now. Not Marlon Brando and not On the Waterfront.
This is a biopic--of a boxer.

A movie from the 1960's:
A man gives a bank teller a holdup note and then gets into an argument about what the note actually says.

A movie from the early 1940s.
A waiter tries to get everyone at the table to order a particular kind of fish. One customer after the other caves in and orders the fish only to find out that the restaurant is out of the fish.
