Question Think you can help me recall the titles for these?
1. A young man and woman elope, get married. The parents send an investigator out to find them. They believe that the boy and girl, while from different families, are actually siblings and therefore are married in incest. The girl becomes pregnant. She turns to a hooker who lives in the same boarding house for advice when she hears that she may be carrying the child of her brother. . . Any idea?
2. Romantic comedy I think from the late 90's. Small town girl moves to big city. Boyfriend back home starts suspecting she is seeing someone, so he goes to make an unscheduled visit. Finds her in love with a restaurant chef (French actor, I believe). He sets up in an abandoned building across the alley from their apartment to watch them. He uses a special set up of mirrors to project their images on a wall. He does things to try and make the man seem to be cheating on her or to destroy his success.
I appreciate any guidance you can offer. And, hey . . you guys are angels to offer your time and effort to us movie-lost souls!
Answer Hello Willard,
I'm not certain about the first one (I'll keep checking into that one), but the second one sounds like "Addicted To Love" from 1997.
"Good-natured astronomer Sam is devastated when the love of his life, Linda, leaves him for a suave Frenchman named Anton. He therefore does what every other normal dumpee would do; go to New York and set up home in the abandoned building opposite his ex-girlfriend's apartment, intent on winning her back and waiting until she decides to leave her current lover. What Sam does not count on is being joined several weeks later by ultra hip tomboy Maggie, a photographer and motor-cyclist who is determined to get revenge on Anton, her ex-fiance. Hostile at first, the two of them eventually join forces in an attempt to separate the couple, and ruin Anton's life. However, complications ensue when Sam and Maggie start falling for each other."
