Unknown Film/TV Program/Literary Work.

I faintly recall a passage in what may have been a black and
white
film or program which I saw on late-night TV a decade ago that
may have some literary basis.

Basically, a man and a woman, both perhaps late twenties to early
thirties, had engaged in a long-distance epistolary exchange
which had turned hopefully romantic over time. Finally, a meeting
was arranged. Since pictures had never been sent, the woman
instructed the man that he would recognize her by a large flower
or other conspicous item. When the man disembarked at the (air or
train) terminal, he noticed a very, very plain lady prominently
positioned outside the gate wearing the telltale sign . After
some gifted body language circling around the concept of
ambiguous faltering and understandable nervousness, he approached
and engaged her in kind and gracious conversation. Suddenly,
after having spent some time contemplating the process, a decided
beauty emerged and interrupted the chat, warmly identifying
herself as his real correspondent.

The only further element in my recollection is that the actual
lady in waiting had her (not blonde) hair arranged in an
entiwined coiffure atop her head and ,perhaps, was wearing a
particolored, maybe floral, dress which may have been native to
the period from the later thirties to the early fifties.

I apologize for the obvious haziness of my account and would
kindly welcome any suggestions or references to other
unaddressed, viable Usenet groups which might prove helpful in
this identification.

Any thoughts on possible literary works that may be connected
would
also be appreciated.

Regards,

Edward Hennessey

I've no idea what the work is, but this may be the most beatifully written
request for assistance I've seen on usenet in a long, long time.

It really is....and I saw this, long ago. IIRC, the "plain woman" was
a friend of the beauty, and it was a test to see if he would only
want her for her looks.

Thanks for the heads up Tesla. The rest of us thought it was a test to see
if she'd go down on him on the platform.

Andrew Jr.:

I have a few words for you: dead, solid, perfect and thank you
very much.
You made part of my day. This is certainly the rootstock of the
program
I recall, eventhough I remain confident the lass dramatically
supplanted her
rose-bearing decoy in the dramatic scene which gripped my memory.

If you ever have translation puzzlements, please bring them to
sci.lang.translation so I may have the reciprocal opportunity to
insure they receive the attention you merit. Because our cadre
there is quite adept
at resolving our own issues, we are currently famished for
perplexing questions and yours would be welcomed.

Kind regards,

Edward Hennessey

Kris:

Thank you.

Even as this tableaux warms the sentiments, appended down on the
page Andrew Jr. ferreted out is a nice analysis worth reading.

Once he saw the drab
decoy, that the man's distracted and bitter disenchantment gives
leave to ready abandonment of his purportedly profound feelings
for the effigy of a special friendship seems to say more about
superficial fixation and smooth segues than it does about love.
You may find the hyperlinked word "rewrite" below the story also
worth a click.

will always treasure all the things I have learned from that story --
legal and nonlegal. Honesty, courage of convictions, ethics and belief in
oneself.
