Ending is anti-climatic?

Just watched this on TCM and I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending. I guess at the final breakfast scene when he punches Connors ( I think that's his name?) and carries Hunter out to the car to "have a talk with her" that means that he loves her? I guess back in the day that would have been more of the norm since women were seen as more "precious" than by today's standards but watching it today it just seems kind of silly.
I'm also confused at the end she is still running around as Sylvia and purchased second class tickets to Paris. Does Tony still not know who she is or what's going on there?

I'm confused as well. Not sure why it ended with the guy putting on a fake moustache.

Good movie, ending sucked.

I didn't understand the ending either and don't know if Joel McCrae really knew whom he was marrying or not. But, I do enjoy him in his pre-westerns.

Agree. The big pay off scene where the truth is revealed is missing in action. Also did not understand the man in the mustache. Lame ending.

I came here to see if I missed the big reveal, and about the guy putting on the moustache at the end. I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my puzzlement over the ending.
