Can't remember if a woman is shown hanging the clothes, though. _________________________ Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans -- John Lennon

Also Places In the Heart with Sally Field. More later if I think of them _________________________ A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is just putting on its shoes - Mark Twain

gretas Enthusiast Registered: Thu Jan 05 2006 Posts: 293 Loc: Northern Maine, USA	"Stand By Me" has a very poignant hanging laundry scene in the beginning of the film. Mother of a dead son hanging laundry while the surviving son watches and a voice-over narrates the situation. _________________________ Excooobeeeee!

This follows a discussion of how Nettie can no longer live at home because their father keeps sexually abusing her... Not very romantic, I know. _________________________ >^..^< "The big yellow one is the sun."

Quote: Funny how I've caught myself trying to think of more 'clothesline scenes' at odd times during the day since this thread showed up. I've been doing the same, ktstew, lol In Where the Heart Is, with Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd, there's a scene where Lexie and Novalee are talking about Novalee's current life situation while Lexie is hanging laundry. _________________________ "It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish." - J.R.R.

In "Summer of '42" Hermie stares at the bras and panties hanging on a clothesline, but no one was hanging the clothes.
