Iranitea, it's not just that turq was walking in the rain, it's that he said he was doing a Fred Astaire imitation. The movie isa classic so I'm sure everyone knew which movie and scene and dancer he meant. BTW, the scenery in that clip is beautiful.

It still escapes me that narrating a story of him walking in the rain has to be automatically a reference to a movie. How conditioned is that? Have you never walked in the rain? My guess is that somebody wanted to dis Barry for a reference he didn't make. Very low indeed. Btw. this would be my reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy-pnpZfRZg ---In [email protected], <sharelong60@...> wrote: Welcome back, iranitea. When turq mentions walking home in the rain, etc. he is alluding to a famous movie scene in which another famous dancer/actor, Gene Kelly dances in the rain. In fact the movie is called Singing In the Rain. Fred Astaire is also a famous dancer/actor of approximately the same era. He often appeared in movies with a partner, Ginger Rogers who did what he did, only moving backwards and wearing high heeled shoes! ________________________________ From: iranitea <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 4, 2013 5:46 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] RE: A cafe in the rain, redux Where in the world does he talk about film? ---In [email protected], <authfriend@...> wrote: Barry wrote: (snip) > Then I walked > home in the rain, doing my best Fred Astaire imitation all the way.
