In Praise of Older Men
I am an expert at tuning out commercials on channels targeted to males, demographic 18 -forever ... but I'm sitting here half listening to the Red Sox and the theme song for A Man and A Woman comes on -- my all time favorite movie.
A boy and girl meet on the street, embrace passionately -- a sidewalk vendor holds up a placard saying "He's 30" -- and there's a tight shot to the bottle of water/whatever he's carrying.
The announcer intones: "In Praise of Older Men."
A Man and A Woman directed by Claude Lelouch

That film came out a few days after I got the results of my "baccalauréat". I rewarded myself instantly by going to see it. I had (still have) a "thing" about Jean-Louis Trintignant. I don't know which part of France he comes from, but there's something absolutely mesmerising in the way he speaks: his voice is very soft, with hardly any inflexions, or strange ones. No one else speaks like that.
I've never liked Anouk Aimée, but she was good in that film. I find her "cucu" (fey).
As TLP says, thanks for the memory. :-)
