I think this is a movie, rather than a series/miniseries.
I think it’s from the early 90s or late 80s (but it could be older).
I think it’s either an English- or French-language production.
I think there’s a heisty/criminal theme to the plot – in any case, the feeling saturating the final scenes is the one of getting away with something or finally being safe.
I’m pretty sure the female protagonist – right before getting her heel stuck in tram tracks as she crosses the street – has found out she’s pregnant. She might even be on her way from her doctor’s appointment.
This is driving me nuts, please help.
The only film I know with that type of scene was BRAINWAVES from 1982 with Tony Curtis. But that scene takes place more towards the beginning. A woman in SF gets her heel stuck in a trolley track and as she finally gets free after struggling she gets hit by a car.
Thanks so much for the suggestion! However, Brainwaves is sadly not the one I’m looking for.
