Married or shacked-up real-life couples together in a movie could be a theme, but only if this is a 1966 episode of the "Preview Tonight" TV series called, The Cliff Dwellers.

But that can't be it, so I'm stuck.

Hal shows up on sites indexing journalists, doctors, lawyers and lots of others.
How about All the President's Men?

Also no. And the thing indexed is not the theme I chose, although we could make a theme of that too.

The Girl from Petrovka?

The only theme I could think of is something with Goldie Hawn? Is that her on the sofa? I'm assuming it is Hal Holbrook.

She plays a ballerina.

Here is part of the review from the NY Times in 1974:

Yes! Our theme was Goldie Hawn movies! And while some IMdB reviewers seem to like it, I just cannot imagine this was very good. Goldie as a Russian ballerina. Involved with Hal Holbrooke. Also starring Anthony Hopkins?! Who got third billing? Oh my.

And for movies with chess:

(See the chess pieces in front of Hal? There's more actual, if not real, chess in the movie.)

It is difficult to imagine a movie plot with "KGB tries to break up relationship between American reporter and Russian ballerina" ever being that interesting. But this movie does sound terrible.

I don't have a still, and EGo is driving across country or something, so anyone who has a still should go next. Including Rogi! I would never have recognized Hal Holbrook. So Rogi or someone, you're next.

Since it's been a couple of hours, I'll toss in a quickie. It's pretty much impossible to find a clip that doesn't give this one up easily.
I saw that Goldie was in that one, but it didn't click as a theme. Embarassed
