> [@Dropo](#): > > _Twentieth Century_ (1934) - Although Carole Lombard and John Barrymore are top-billed, there is no “love” or romantic interest between their characters. They were married, and that early part of the relationship was shown. There are also hints that the feelings are there, but neither can be honest about it. \*Never Give a Sucker an Even Break - ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > They were married, and that early part of the relationship was shown. There are also hints that the feelings are there, but neither can be honest about it. Respectfully, you are incorrect. They are not married at any point in the film. They are lovers. It is debatable whether their relationship can be called “loving” because Barrymore’s character is a control freak/manipulative a-hole (and solipsist) who is not truly capable of loving another person. As such, I would argue that the Lombard character is not truly a love interest for him, only another person to be used for his own ends. ---

> [@jaycat](#): > > Remind me what you’re referring to here? Cody, a fortune hunter, tries to horn in on the discovery by the trio. They decide to kill him, but he’s killed in a confrontation with the bandidos. They find a letter from his wife in his effects. At the end, Curtin goes to seek out his widow.
