Bittersweet ending (Spoiler)
What young man doesn't want an "older woman"? This film left me with a bitter sweet feeling of deja vu. For me, she was married, two children, blonde, trim and 26. Everyone went "WOW" when they saw her. I was 17, fresh high school grad and really not as cool as I acted. For some reason she picked me. The next 4 months or so was spent workin' on those night moves. Before work, after work, even during work a couple times, whenever we could get away.
Then the season changed. She wanted to leave her family and set up housekeeping. I hesitated...and lost. She cut it off without looking back. I was devastated. In the end she stayed with her family and I found the girl who would become my first wife. I didn't write a song, or book about Carol, but I remember.
