And just for the sake of total randomness: The name "Peter Quint" got stuck in my head after I read your post and I couldn't understand why - until I remembered that after my viewing of the HS production of Turn of the Screw, the same thing had happened. Peter Quint reminds me of "Peter Quince" who is in this Wallace Stevens poem: http://eir.library.utoronto.ca/rpo/display/poem2015.html
Not much of a fan of Stevens, but his poems certainly are memorable - if in the oddest ways.
