allaboutlana Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I frankly can?t believe it, because I?ve never seen it! But I have heard of it, with Dana playing two roles. Clue #1: Thursday?s her day for an outing: errands and a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks, finance. I sometimes fail to pick up on things like that because my TCM-to-Email is busted, and I forget to check every thread I should. Another user notified me by PM. Anyway, another one: *1.* Inappropriate romance with *Lolita*-seeming comparisons. And some differences. The 14-year-old lass in actively laying siege to the man, age 28.

The Lady Eve Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 *The Crush* ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Not *The Crush*, but that's a choice I might have made. Early 1980s. The girl is the daughter of his slightly-older wife from a previous marrage. They both are devistated when the wife dies in an auto accident. The daughter has had years to observe her mother and this man together, and that is what love looks like to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 *3.* The girl continues to live with the widower, although there is the possibility of moving in with her biological father. This is okay with the real dad; he has one moment of suspicion, but it passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 *4.* She is unresponsive to his efforts to direct her attention toward the eager young men her own age. Hilarious set piece at bedtime: She shows up at his bed, toting her pillow, determined to join him. Nothing sexual takes place, but she wins; at the end, she's sitting propped up against her pillow, reading a magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Correct. For my next clue, I was going to expose the fact that it was a French film, subtitled. I think the title actually translates as "Boyfriend-Father" phroso's thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phroso Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The plot description pretty much confirmed that it would be a French film. (Yeccch!) Next batch of clues: 1.) Based on a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
