It's not *Picnic*, though the first clue fits...
1. Small towns can be dull. A young woman who?s been languishing in one finally comes face to face with a daring stranger.
2. Sparks fly and she leaves town with him
...one big difference is that she leaves town with him at the beginning of the movie rather than catching a bus to meet him at the end...

Thanx, Mr.6's...
*Mother's Day* is coming soon...whose mom is this??
When the boy, her only child, was just a tot, she left the country to pursue a singing career in Europe. There she had her marriage to his father annulled. A later husband was a very wealthy man and he gave the boy the name he became known by as a celebrated writer/director.
Mom was unconventional, moving around the continent and to the states and back (with son in tow) in artistic and business pursuits. She was a friend of Isadora Duncan (and even gave Duncan the scarf that ultimately killed her). In fact, mom was in the shawl business and, at one point in 1925, got into fight with a thief who was trying to steal shawls from her. They both fell down a flight of stairs before he escaped. She was in her 50?s at the time?one tough mom!
Mom also had a romance with Aleister Crowley, renowned occultist, and collaborated with him on his major published work. Crowley did not like the woman?s son, though, and called him a ?god-forsaken lout.? When the boy grew up and later wrote his memoirs he got even by describing Crowley in scathing terms. These memoirs were initially to be titled _The Events Leading Up to My Death,_ but the celebrated man died while writing them at the Algonquin Hotel (the memoirs did not appear until many years later under another title).
Another question, think his wild life with his mom might've had an impact on his films?
