Near the end of the movie, we see an airplane flying through the air. What does this have to do with the plot? And no, I am not referring to the "Universal Pictures" logo of "Lucky Lindy" flying his airplane across the globe (which is obviously a small model airplane). You can actually see footage of a real airplane flying in the sky, near the end of this film. What gives?
Thank you in advance!
Cheers!

I just watched WOL a couple of hours ago.
It was a reference to something the Paul Ames character said towards the beginning of the movie, that he would be flying back to California but wanted to see his childhood sweetheart, Lisa, first. (I'm paraphrasing.)
I guess it's up to the viewer's imagination, if Lisa is in the plane with him.
Thank you BoomerMovieFan...I will have to re-watch this film someday. I had forgotten that the Paul Ames character had said that.
Thanks again!
Cheers!
Sincerely, Steve B.
Paul is established as a pilot. I thought the ending indicated he and Lisa were flying off to a new life of sexual bliss now that the oldish and dull Wilfred has been conveniently disposed of. Kind of distasteful, I think, on some level. It is like dancing on his grave.
shareSteven,
I found that scene extremely puzzling as well. If the answers to your question are correct, then that was a highly questionable choice to end the film. I had also thought that it may be simply a segue to the universal logo, still not very satisfying. Anyway, after watching such a high quality film for its time, this last scene was a head scratcher.
Also, I thought the relationship between Lisa and Paul throughout the film was distasteful. He seemed less like a hero and more like a womanizer trying to steal someone's wife.
Nice unintentional plug to Universal's plane sequence.
sharePerhaps it was intentional.
