I recorded this movie off TCM w/ my DVR, and finally got around to watching it today... Unfortunately, the TV guide must have been off (second time w/ TCM), and I missed the ending. Can anyone tell me how it ended? I saw up until the point where they were reunited and in the bar when the police raided it. From the time, it seems like there were only a few mins left.
Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.
I watched it today and had the same problem.
shareI didn't get it either, after watching it last night. But I sure loved the music. Creepy in a good way. My grandmother used to play piano for silent movies and the piano parts in this movie were awesome.
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.
She got shot while helping him escpae into the sewer. He went to see her in the hospital and the police arrested him there. She eventually became a respectable seamstress, and after he gets out of prison, he comes to her apartment.
The ending is them riding down the road in a buggy, crossing the same railroad tracks as earlier. (The train just misses them.) This time, they have the goofy sidekick in the back of the wagon. The ending music is kind of strange, it is very pensive and not "final" at all. You're waiting for them to get hit by the train almost, that's how the music feels...
To your accurate description of the ending I'd like to add that Marise, while riding in the buggy with Jean, flashes the ring on her finger, which illustrates that she and Jean had just gotten married. I take it that it was their wedding day, and that BoBo (who's all dressed up) most likely had served as their best man. By the way, by then (beginning upon hospitalization for her life-threatening gunshot injury), Marise had reverted to her earlier angelic beauty - no longer looked weathered and hard.
shareThe ending was cute, but that was one mighty close call with the train. IMO, if I was Marise, I would not have reunited with the lousy bf. He really treated her like crap a few times. They could have remained friend. This was the first silent film I saw that starred Ramon Navarro, and Wallace Berry. Enid was very pretty. All did a great job.
