What film is this scene from?

[dms1972]

I remember seeing a scene from a film staring Meryl Streep, in which the character she plays is in an argument with what seemed to be a university professor who is adamantly stating Charles Dickens did not exist. She clearly disagrees and is trying to say something, but he won't let her, and she eventually collapses.

Any ideas?

The Canonball run.

I may be mistaken but I don't remember Meryl Streep in that.

She's that good of an actor.

I have searched for this film several times online over the years, but can't locate it and I have asked others. I have searched through dialog from her films, still nothing. But I know the scene exists. I can't believe this scene exists in some film and no one remembers it.

That's how good of an actor she is.

You'll tell me next she was the cannon-ball.

Thats quite funny, but your reply before you changed it I found a lot funnier.

The Cannonball run is one of those films its seems possible to talk repeatedly about without actually seeing it.

 

[dms1972]

But seriously, someone must know of the scene I mention, and the film its from?

You could try asking this on tv tropes, no guarantee of an answer, but it's likely someone there will know. You Know That Show... - TV Tropes

I happened upon the scene on YouTube, I presume the film is Sophie's Choice?
