The magic of old movies
Yesterday in the office we came to talk about Bette Davis and old movies in general. And I thought how sad it is forgotten that they are more and more. Kids - mine included - have now idea who Harvey is. The names or Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, James Stuart James Cagney mean nothing to them. They never saw Jezebel, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Angels with Dirty Faces or The Philadelphia Story. Here in Austria this kind of movies are almost never played on TV and DVDs are rather expensive.
Anyway the main reason for this post is that on and off for many years now I try to remember a movie title.
It’s a love story. Two people meet on a ship and for some reason they can’t be together but they promised each other to meet again on the ship. They had this tick whenever they drank a glass of campaign they broke there glasses and lay them across on the table. Witch annoyed the barkeeper to now end. What I remember is the end scene and that I cried my eyes out when I saw it the first time. They are both dead and the barkeeper works with his back to the bar when he hears the braking of glass and when he turns around but no one is there to lie across glasses on the bar.
I do not know the actors. But it must be from the 30tis. I hope pastmiscellany can help.
