    AA> That's certainly a very dramatic musical piece. I can imagine   
    AA> the scene with the music.   
      
     Well, the stage was in darkness while this was going on. It's the   
   very final part of the last movement...the tempo starts at what is   
   known as "Moderato" (moderate)...but by the time it "climaxes"    
   (pardon the pun), it's at "Allegro" (fast). I can imagine what it   
   would be if it was "Presto" (very fast).    
      
    AA> One film that I recall were classical music is featured quite a   
    AA> bit is Clockwork Orange. The music set to the fast-motion sex   
    AA> scene with the two girls is memorable.   
      
     Ah yes, the overture from "William Tell" (aka The Lone Ranger).   
      
    AA> When a woman says "no" and the man says "yes", there would be a   
    AA> lot of backlash these days.   
      
     It reminds me of the exchange between a man and his wife. He says   
   "Yes, dear" to her "requests"...but when he says "No, dear", it's   
    then "Yes, dear".    
      
    DS> ..Then, after the big finish, the lights come back up, she   
    DS> is sitting at the table, and he walks onto the stage. She   
    DS> asks "When will I be seeing you again??". It brought the   
    DS> house down in laughter.    
      
    AA> There are quite a few older films that depict that reversal too.   
      
     They don't make movies like they used to.   
      
     I remember when I was in "You Can't Take It With You" back in   
   high school over 40 years ago. The woman I had a crush on, she   
   and I were in choir and drama together...but we were "husband   
   and wife" in the play. In one scene, I asked her "Did you ask   
   Grandpa about us having a baby??"...and she replies "Oh, yes!!   
   He said to go right ahead"...and the script notes "they are out   
   of sight upstairs.    
      
     We did go up this staircase, but it went onto a table offstage,    
   then we had a second set to step down off. We had a co-ed dressing   
   room, but you didn't have time to take "visual inventory". You   
   were busy changing costumes and getting ready for your next   
   entrance.
