Catch a Falling Star

The 70-year-old Miss Mamie, a seamstress since age 15 and a recluse even then, doesn’t sew well, but her many customers delight in the tales she weaves about herself, them and the dresses she alters. Then, painter David Browning gives Miss Mamie her first chance for real-life prominence when he begins her portrait for his upcoming show in New York. But the sittings end abruptly and the dreams turn to nightmares when Browning’s daughter offers the never-married Miss Mamie her ultimate fantasy: to sew a wedding gown.
