Nope. That's two guesses, right?
Lolita
Carried Away
Clue, please.
Not Lolita.
Before leaving on a business trip, our hero and his wife engage in a quickie on the kitchen table, barely surviving when a tree crashes through the roof.
No idea. I think I'd remember that scene if I saw the movie.
Me too, Raggedy. This is one I haven't seen.
One more clue:
He showed up on the anniversary of their sons' death, ate, drank, reminisced, danced to "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" with his friends' delighted wife and then asked his friend to accompany him on an assignment to assassinate his boss. But promised to have him home in time to go to the cemetary with his wife.
The Matador?
(I'm headed out of town for the weekend, so if that's right, someone else can take the next turn.)
CORRECT!
Wasn't that movie hysterical? I loved it.
Pierce Brosnan as assassin Julian Noble in The Matador
I'll have to try to catch "The Matador", eoe. It's been on cable, but I miss it every time.
Anyone care to ask the next question?
The next scene is from a very obscure movie (at least, I had never heard of it until I saw it at the Film Society of Lincoln Center recently), but with this crowd, someone will probably get it right away.
Late 1940's movie
A man whose wife died about six months ago has just returned home after having been away for some time. A woman who lives in the neighborhood rings his doorbell, says she saw his lights on, and wanted to welcome him back. As a thunderstorm rages outside the windows, the woman proceeds to tell the man that she's in love with him, that she knows he feels the same way about her, and now that his wife is dead there's no longer any reason for them to deny their feelings about each other. Imagine her surprise when an 18-year-old girl walks into the room, and the man introduces her as his new wife.
I have no clue, but it's a great plot!
I'm with Mac. No idea--yet. But it sounds good.
Three guesses -- even wild ones -- get a clue.
Not The Strange Woman (but it's a three-word title, and "Woman" is part of it).
Not That Hamilton Woman.
Hint: more than 40 years after this movie was made, the actress who makes the declaration of love in the scene I described became the oldest person to win an Oscar (not counting the honorary Oscar that Groucho Marx got when he was 83).
Is this question driving you crazy yet?
I can't even begin to guess...
