"Until September"

I love old movies. You know the ones, where the plot is always (basically) the same….boy (man) meets girl (woman); boy (man) does something really stupid to piss off girl (woman); boy (man) tries to make it up to the girl (woman); etc., etc. You get the picture. They always, always get married or back to together at the end of the movie. Cary Grant. Elizabeth Taylor. Grace Kelly. Audrey Hepburn. Rock Hudson. Montgomery Cliff. Karen Allen.

Karen Allen? Yep. She made the most romantic, sexiest movie ever back in 1984, “Until September.” (Remember, this is my blog) The movie was rated “R” but I don’t remember the restricted parts. I just remember how utterly romantic it was.

Imagine…you are a young, single woman literally stuck in Paris. You can’t leave to go back to the States. I don’t even remember why she couldn’t go back. I think it had something to do with her ticket or passport. Anyway, she gets “stuck” in the Paris flat she had been sharing with her friends (who have all gone back home). In walks the sexy Frenchman to take over the flat because he has rented it for the month. She can’t/won’t leave and neither will he. Need I say more?

The movie is not shown very often. I keep looking for it on Turner Classic Movies. I wonder if there is a place I can make suggestions to them to show it...
