in between

On the run from government assassins after a botched attempt on his life, and looking for a place to hide, CIA bookworm Joe Turner (Robert Redford) kidnaps a stranger, Kathy Hale (Faye Dunaway), and forces her to drive him back to her place, in Sydney Pollack's 1975 film Three Days of the Condor.

Later, at Kathy's apartment, Joe uses a rare moment of quiet to look at the black-and-white photographs on her walls.

Joe: Lonely pictures.
Kathy:
So?
Joe: You're funny. You take pictures of empty streets, and trees with no leaves on them.
Kathy:
It's winter.
Joe: Not quite winter. They look like ... November. Not autumn, not winter. In between.
