I will ask a stupid question, as I am known to do, but if I persist in making inquiries about a book or a song, the answer usually comes to me almost magically.
So here it is: In junior high, I was babysitting my neighbors daughter and caught the tale end of a highly romantic western where there was some sort of outdoor party where there was singing and kissing. Mind you, I was probably awakening to my own prepubescent sexual feelings. I just thought it was the most romantic scene I had seen. I almost want to say that the protagonists, a dark-haired couple "reunited," and there was Spanish music playing in the background and a festive atmosphere. I don't recall, however, whether the film was in color or not, but it probably was Technicolor. I don't think the music was mariachi music, but it could have been, but I usually find that the soundtrack is what really draws my attention....
I don't watch many westerns and I have tried to find the TV Guides for the years where I could have seen the film, to no avail. I just remember thinking, "I wish I could have seen that movie," and was too young to think to track it down.... so here, I am decades later, still wondering what movie that could have been.
Any ideas? You can curse me in advance for asking you to wrack your brains to remember it

This is in answer to LZ's question concerning a film I'm trying to track down from my childhood. Well, I think it was likely shown around in the late early '71 or '72, but I believe it was an old (50s) film. It had a very crisp look to it, so was likely a technicolor film. I know that the people are outdoors singing, and there may have been lanterns... I didn't recognize the actors, but perhaps the woman looked like Linda Darnell (that's a loooong shot because I had no way to know who Darnell was, then). That's a bad guess. The man--no idea.
Sorry I took so long to reply. I have no idea how to find my thread without using keywords. Is there a better way to find one's messages in the message area?
