pastman; I think you'll enjoy it. I blurred over some things: Different appearence, hairstyle, personality, according to the customer. Playing to their own needs and picking up on the clues on the fly. One response to the young soldier, another to a recent widower. And humor is present in these changes. And the ruined life and career involves a hidden homicide. And on her last trip home, The Girl walks past a former john -- and goes back to Melbourne riding Coach. I think you'll find it worth your time.

BRIT -- I coshed him. AMER -- I slugged him with a blackjack.

Swingin'! You're up.

It is about a prostitute. Its not Irma La Douce, not Pretty Woman. Australia's Warm Nights On A Slow Moving Train (1988) casts Wendy Hughes as "The Girl" who teaches Art all week in a Catholic school in Melbourne. Weekends, she spends on the Melbourne-to-Sidney train. In the club car, she selects her johns, and takes them to her compartment in the sleeper car. This provides an income that serves the needs of her brother, an injured athlete who is drug addicted. It also provides her with a sex life and -- such as it is --an emotional life that is under her control. She can briefly connect with these men, but the end of each encounter comes when she needs it to. Complications come about when one man, a charasmatic politition, actually touches her -- and then employes her services to destroy the life of an enemy. With 85 Views and only one Reply, its evident that no interest was generated here. But I think it is a loss that this interesting story did not get wider attention. As mentioned in one of the clues, it is on the TCM list. The Thread is open.

NAME THE MOVIE No series of clues here -- this statement and nothing more. A babysitter/drug mule will not ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT go on a trip in a plane without her "lucky" hat. She also goes against instructions and arranges her flight by using her employer's phone -- and that phone is simulcasting. Result: The end of a number of criminal careers. What movie?

BRIT -- A bloomin grahss * AMER -- A #@%(& snitch** ...* shortened from "snake in the grass." ...** all are synonyms of "rat, tattletale," etc.

Giving away the shop, here. Selling out. I guess the next best thing to giving obscure clues is to have an obscure movie. My deception here is that this is not a USA title. It is a movie from another English-speaking country. IMO, it did not get the attention or distribution it deserved. The quote that I gave earlier can be found in "Quotes" locations, but I did not find it in connection with any movie. The year of issue is 1988. I'll leave it here for a few more hours, if someone wants to work with the two new pieces of information and try again to find it. Also, this is one that is in the TMC list, but I have never seen in on the schedule. And it is just bare-bones info, also, no synopsis. cmvgor Message was edited by: cmvgor

The object is to record expressions wherein British and American people (and writers and scripters) say very similar things in dfferent ways. Here's one: BRIT -- I'll knock her up. AMER -- I'll call her on the phone. Anyone else?

[27] "I get the drumstick! I get the drumstick!"

Said during a pause in the walk from the club car to the sleeping-compartment car: "I sleep with men for money."

There is one john who captivates and intrigues The Girl (her cast-list ID), one man she could possibly love. And he makes use of her to destroy the life of a political enemy.

26 ",,,and if this doesn't get us a guest shot on MST3K, you do the laundry for the rest of the semester!"

1980s. She is deft at dealing with the johns (cast-listed only as Salesman, Football Coach, Young Soldier, etc). As someone in her situation must do, she spots difficulties before they develope, and evades them. The john who falls in love and wants to immediately marry her is handled swiftly and without trouble.

Audry Hepburn ended up as the sweetheart of Burt Lancaster at the end of The Unforgiven, after the Kiowas killed and scalped her first beau -- Albert Salmi.

Her added income supports the needs of her badly injured, drug-addicted brother. He was formerly a fine athlete.

Her other job: Teaches Art at a Convent school.

Tryin' again. A case study of a very competent hooker. Works trains. Picks up johns in the club car; retires to a sleeping compartment.

Cosmo, no contest. OPIE TAYLOR or BEAVER CLEAVER

Ethel Mertz BARNEY RUBBLE or ED NORTON

Pie. LITTLE RICKY RICARDO or BAMM-BAMM RUBBLE

Correct, Sixes. Recent reference to Running On Empty reminded me how much I've admired the work of Christine Lahti, so I brought this one up. Your thread.

Jack & Bobby's mom, Nash Bridges' dad and Sister Agnes of God all got in their licks in this flick.

The trek is from Wyoming to Alaska.

Negative re Desert Hearts. "Just because you leave doesn't mean you're not in the same place!"

90s. Thelma And Louise it also ain't. These characters have hope. Sometimes its a struggle, but they have hope and can afford optimism.
