While You Were Sleeping

While You Were Sleeping is a film (romantic comedy, 1995) starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. Bullock plays Lucy, a subway token attendant who rescues a man from the tracks when he falls unconcious on them. Because he is so handsome she quips to a nurse in the hospital that she is the man's "fiance" and consequently the man's visiting family are told of this. Lucy is, at first, too caught up in the madness of everyone's panic to tell the truth. Later, however, she is so embraced by this family that she cannot bring herself to reveal what really occurred. In the meantime she falls in love with the sleeping man's brother.
