This is the most romantic movie scene ever. But that's not why I posted it.
Here's why: Back in the late 1980s I had an argument with a female friend regarding Sam (Hee Haw) Wainwright, whose most controversial moment comes in the middle of this clip.
I said he was a deeply loyal friend, a perpetually cheerful fellow and a patriot. She couldn't get past the fact he had a floozy draped all over him while he was talking on the phone to his wholesome, small town girlfriend back home.
I said he was an upwardly mobile recent college grad in the big city just having a good time. No harm, no foul. He never wavered in his support of the Baileys, floozy or no floozy. She kept coming back to the floozy.

I always got a kick of them not hanging up the phone. Wouldn't Sam have heard the whole "resolution"?
I love the acting in that whole scene.
Indeed, the most romantic scene ever.
A wired $25,000 washes away any bad feelings.
Neil,
One of the great scenes in one of the great movies.
Have you ever seen "Strangers on a Train?" I watched it the other night and blogged about it.
