is that Ned didn't go at the end. I really felt for this character maybe its because I like Lew Ayres I don't know but I wished he had left. Though after seeing Linda stand up to her family and go, I like to believe he did get out.
The only Abnormality is the incapacity to love
It was driving home Cary Grant's point. Ned has become what Grant feared he himself would - beaten down and dependent, without the ability to get out. It doesn't take much imagination to see Grant's character being similar to Ned in 5-10 years had he stayed.
"My name is Paikea Apirana, and I come from a long line of chiefs stretching all the way back to the Whale Rider."
I agree. But in my optimistic imagination, whatever Johnny and Linda do turns out to be a big success and they come back for Ned and get him out of there one day. I just have to hope.
shareNed could have been anything he wanted to be, if he'd had the courage. He chose instead to drink and feel sorry for himself. Poor rich, indulged Ned!
