Poignant moments
Though the scene where Francesca has her hand on the truck door handle is probably the most heart wrenching of the film, I have always liked the scene in the kitchen when Richard is sitting at the table and Francesca gets a phone call from her friend Madge. While on the phone she begins to fondle his shirt collar thus signaling to him that she is very interested. The background song by Johnny Hartman just heightens the romantic moment and the underlying physical and emotional attraction these two have for one another.
