I can’t think of any more obvious clues than to just give it away:

I don't believe that this one has been done:

-- Yeah.

I totally know this, that’s one of my favorite lines/scenes in any movie! But I’m ineligible, and starting to run out of movie quote ideas, anyway . . .

No, now you can still answer this one; you don't win anything but the good will of all your peers (and even those who are better than you).

Okay, here goes.


A poem read near the end of the film.
How calmly does the orange branch observe
Without a cry, without a prayer,
With no betrayal of despair.

Sometime while night obscures the tree
The Zenith of its life will be
Gone past forever, and from thence
A second history will commense.

A chronicle no longer old,
A bargaining with mist and mould,
And finally the broken stem
Te plummeting to earth; and then

An intercourse not well designed
For beings of a golden kind
Whose native green must arch above
The earth's obscene, corrupting love.

And still the ripe fruit and the branch
Observe the sky begin to blanch
Without a cry, without a prayer,
With no betrayal of despair.

O Courage could you not as well
Select a second place to dwell,
Not only in that golden tree
But in the frightened heart of me?
From a black and white film made in the early 1960's.

Takes place in Mexico.


Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr and others.

Sorry, RayThom.

Close but no panatela.

The plot in a nutshell:

A defrocked Episcopal clergyman leads a bus-load of middle-aged Baptist women on a tour of the Mexican coast and comes to terms with the failure haunting his life.

this should be answered pretty quickly by anyone who saw the movie, especially with the plot summary. And, if I recall correctky, that same poem was read at the author's funeral.
