August,

 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.
