My thoughts exactly!
My vote is for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Methinks that there are going to be some mighty unhappy marriages there after ten or so years. Then they’ll write the song, “Where have all the cowboys gone?”
It’s been a long time since I read the book or saw the movie, but I thought it was implied that Chief was one of the few others besides McMurphy who were involuntarily committed?
Anyway, he did his friend a favor as far as the book was concerned, I think that plus regaining his freedom was the “happy” ending.
Anyone born after 1910 can see why McLintock! won’t end well…
I don’t think he cares at that point.
Hopefully he’ll at least get a nice pen out of the deal.
It’s even mentioned at the end of Joe Versus The Volcano, but being stuck out in the middle of the ocean is no laughing matter. The happy couple may never actually make it to land; can you imagine how they and their trunks would fare in a storm at sea? 30-foot waves, that’s all I’m sayin’.
Oh, and supplies run out.
OK, here’s something I wonder about the Endor Holocaust theory: doesn’t the ending of RotJ prove that it didn’t happen? I mean, all the principal characters are with the Ewoks, under a night sky with no falling debris, and they obviously survived after that, so doesn’t that pretty much put the whole thing to rest? You can argue all you want about WHY it didn’t happen, but the fact is, it didn’t, and that’s plainly on the screen.
What am I missing?
Betty Smith’s “Joy in the Morning” (made into a movie starring Richard Chamberlain & Yvette Yvette Mimieux] had Carl Brown graduating from law school and taking his wife and child to his new job as a lawyer…in June of 1929. CRASH
They do know they’re going to get busted, what they don’t know is how bad it’s going to be.
