The Age of Innocence

(1993)

According to the IMDB, some portion of this film, based on the novel by Edith Wharton, was shot in Portsmouth. It would make sense that the scene in question would be the one where Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) sees Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer) on the pier, but doesn't speak to her. Although some of the action of the film takes place in Newport and Middletown, we're not aware that any filming was done in those towns.
