Un homme et une femme

one of the most memorable films I`ve ever seen

Picture this: A 19 year old away from home for the first time attending school on the opposite side of the USA - near Carson City, Nevada. One night, during a heavy snowstorm we find a fellow student with a car and drive to Reno. I was truly taken. My first exposure to a classic French film (with English subtitles). The mood of the film - two professional parents (widow and widower) who meet through their children`s school and fall in love knowing all the complications that face them - completely got to me. I hope this film never gets the label "dated". P.S. This occurred in 1967.
