The movie has always been a night in the most clique-ish, back-stabbing, one-upmanship gay you could find disguised as a heterosexual movie. It's why the movie has been a gay man's essential since the day it was born. Critic George Jean Nathan called the original play "the best argument I've ever seen for homosexuality."
And Crystal's reaction to events at the end probably wasn't all that scary; in addition to the affair with Buck Winston, she probably hadn't put all her eggs in one basket and paid plenty of receptive signals to any number of Stephen's rich friends. She's not really going to be back at any perfume counter.
