Yes, Mark, I agree with your insights of "Breaking Away,"
which was an excellent film about youth. You reminded me
of the love scenes, which I liked too, but what I best
remember were scenes with thundering classical music. Do you
recall that the Dennis Christopher character sees that a
beautiful girl has dropped her notebook, so he scoops it up
and chases her ... with her on a motorscooter and him on a
pedal bike ... and the soundtrack really gets bombastic!
What a scene! And then, later, Christopher does that little
racing-with-the-transfer-truck scene to loud classical
music. Whatever happened to Dennis Christopher anyway? Ernie.
