Script pitch: Love story about a shy man who suddenly finds himself reaching old age without a companion.
Lead role: Gene Wilder
Opening: An older man (mid-70s) sits alone in his rather large, neat, beach-front cottage home in Connecticut. We see him go about his morning, making himself tea, doing the puzzle in the paper, and painting in his home studio. We finally see him looking in his calendar. Forthcoming are a few doctor's appointments and one art opening that looks important. The man looks rather disappointed that he doesn't have a more full social calendar. He makes a decision and grabs his "little black book". The entries are old, and many are crossed off with notes like "married", "moved to California", and "deceased".
