Maybe I've been influenced by too many Hollywood movies, but I reckon it's Prom Night !
Certainly, the silvery moon and painted shack are tacky enough to be from Grease, and our two featured kids have that cheery "Most Important Night Ever" look about them.
Marvin's buzz-cut suggest that next day, he took his rented satin tux back to the store and shipped out to Basic Training. Later he led a squad of men to Vietnam, and came back a different man.
Alice married Marvin in between postings, but was tempted while he was in Vietnam. She had an affair with a "Don Draper" advertising exec, and had the resulting kid adopted before Marvin returned.
See, you can read all that in their eyes.
(Warning : Preceding life story is complete rubbish. I have no idea what happened.)
