It was a warm summer afternoon and Corey Stoll and I sat together at a table on the terrace of a clean, well-lighted café, watching the crowd going by.
Stoll is not a household name but he is a major player in "Midnight in Paris," a movie so strong and true and funny that it has remained in picture houses all summer long and made more money than any other movie from the director Woody Allen.
The boulevard was busy and the trees moved slightly in the wind. We drank black coffee and talked about bullfighting and fishing and fighting, and then we had brandy and got in an argument that led to a fistfight.
