Add to a movie listIn the Affirmative (French: L'Amour avec des si) is a 1962 French film by Claude Lelouch.

It was entered into the 14th Berlin International Film Festival.
Synopsis
The film is a road movie that follows a middle aged man who gives a young woman a lift. On the car radio, news bulletins warn the population against a recently escaped sadist who is known to prey on young women and children. Lelouch often cuts away from the main story, if only briefly, to parallel events that are not necessarily crucial to the story but illustrate what is suggested by the radio.Actors

Michel Perrin, important industriel, et Sarah Gaucher, comédienne renommée, n'ont a priori rien en commun... et pourtant, ils disparaissent mystérieusement tous les deux le même jour, à la même heure. Et, surtout, réapparaissent trois jours plus tard comme si rien ne s'était passé ! Ce qui pourrait sembler n'être qu'une troublante coïncidence, mais le phénomène se reproduit à l'identique peu de temps après...

Quatre jeunes ouvriers lassés de leurs conditions décident de devenir gangsters. Jean-Pierre, le leader de la bande les prévient que ce métier ne s'improvise pas et qu'il faut donc l'apprendre. Ils créent donc ensemble la première école de gangstérisme où ils seront à la fois élèves et instructeurs. Martine, une jeune femme sourde et muette, peintre de trottoir se joindra au groupe. L'entrainement va comprendre une mise en condition physique (plus d'alcool ni te tabac) une endurance au souffle et aux coups, la pratique des sports de combats, le maniement des armes, l'apprentissage du poker, etc. Ils se font la main en commettant des "petits coups" puis montent en puissance avec des vols qui font la une des journaux. Ils essuient aussi quelques échecs, comme la tentative de kidnapping du chien d'une prostituée ou l'intimidation d'une bande rivale. Leur dernier coup, l'enlèvement contre rançon d'une vedette de cinéma tourne mal, l'un des membres de la bande paniquant en apercevant un policier sur le lieu de l'échange et mitraillant plusieurs personnes. Désorientés les quatre hommes se réfugient dans une ancienne carrière et se demandent comment gérer la suite des événements et finissent par s’entre-tuer, seule survivra Martine qui retournera dessiner sur les trottoirs.

He lives a rather freewheeling bachelor lifestyle. At his favorite bar, seemingly by coincidence, he encounters a woman named Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter). Dave drives Evelyn home, where she reveals that their meeting was not coincidental; she deliberately sought him out after hearing the bar mentioned on his radio show. He guesses correctly that she is a recurring caller who always requests the jazz standard "Misty." The two have sex.

In Queens, New York during October 1999, John Sullivan (Caviezel), a 36-year-old homicide detective, breaks up with his girlfriend Samantha (Melissa Errico) with the reason partially attributed to the trauma caused by the death of his fireman father Frank (Quaid). Still living in the same house where he grew up, he discovers his father's Heathkit single-sideband ham radio and begins transmitting radio signals. Because of highly localized electro-temporal spatial effects caused by unusual aurora borealis activity, John somehow makes contact with his father exactly 30 years in the past on the day before Frank's death in a warehouse fire. The ensuing conversation results in Frank thinking John is a stalker. Before the connection cuts out, John is able to shout out the circumstances that led to Frank's death. The next day as little things brought up in their conversation prove true, Frank believes and heeds John's words, escaping the fire to safety. The father and son reconnect on the HAM radio set later that evening, with Frank sharing his dreams and his hopes for his son, and John recounting the details of the Mets-Orioles World Series, which is just beginning in Frank's timeline in 1969. John also reveals to Frank that he now dies of lung cancer in 1989 due to his smoking habit.
