It’s “The Trouble with Angels”, maybe? ---

Whoa-- blast from the past. 😮 I read that book on a romantic and ultimately ill-fated road trip in a Chevy Vega in the spring of 1974… Elton John’s “Philadelphia Freedom” was on the car radio. A lot. 💭 Don’t mind me. Carry on. ---

There have been times on the SDMB when someone gives us various details about a story, but it appears that they’ve mushed together three movies, three television episodes, and a novel into a single plot. I’m not criticizing you in saying this. Human memory is a mess. It’s possible for everyone to utterly remember things wrong ---

I don’t know. I was asking if the poster meant that movie instead of the “Trouble with Girls” There’s a part 2, to The Trouble with Angels. Can’t remember the title. Maybe, “Trouble follows where Angels tread” But, my thread here is about _Chatauqua_ the word and what it means. Anywhoo. ---

The movie you’re thinking of is _Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows_, and it also has nothing to do with Chautauqua. ---

I _realize_ that! I didn’t say it was. I was just answering a previous poster. ---

I remember their public service announcements on TV when I was a kid in the mid-1960s. I later looked them up out of curiosity, and probably could have answered a simple _Jeopardy!_ question about them. ---

I have lived a sheltered life, I suppose. But I’ve read a bunch. (Never _Zen…_). If that word ever came up I don’t remember or I thought it was a place, town, river, or mountain. If I thought it meant other I would have looked it up, which is my practice. Amazing what you can learn. Thanks Dopers for making me feel dumber than I did a few days ago. 😊 ---

Everyone is ignorant of most of the information in the universe, though we’re not all ignorant of exactly the same set. No reason to blush about it. Instead, think joyfully that none of us will ever run out of new things to learn. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > It’s “The Trouble with Angels”, maybe? Nope. It was definitely more in the counter-cultural milieu. > [@Wendell\_Wagner](#): > > There have been times on the SDMB when someone gives us various details about a story, but it appears that they’ve mushed together three movies, three television episodes, and a novel into a single plot. It’s actually a mental image of an ad for the movie that really is stuck in my memory. A young guy in one of those overcoats that has an integral cape wearing a top hat standing with his arms held out from his sides. ---
