How does it end?

Once again, my annoying cable company cut off the last few minutes of a TCM movie. Thanks for nothing Time Warner. This is about the 8th time this has happened this year, but I do DVR a lot of TCM movies.

The last thing I saw was the scene where "Larry" gets punched and goes back to becoming the staid, boring Larry, and all the other gents go off into the other room to make the oil deal.

Can someone tell me how it ends?

This is such a funny movie. I laughed out loud more than a couple of times. Thanks!

Hey me too!

TCM had the running length in incorrectly.

Yeah, so how does it end?

Ditto! Just watched the DVR recording from a couple of weeks ago, and the time signal cut off the DVR just as Myrna Loy looked ready to pick up a vase a bop Powell. Spoilers be darned, someone please tell us about the last few minutes of the movie.....

ENDING- SPOILERS AHEAD

So....Larry gets punched and acts all boring again. Kay is distraught that he has gone back to his "old self". As he is lying on the couch, she decides that she will hit him in the head with a vase to hopefully make him go back to his new self. As she raises the vase, he turns around (she quickly hides the vase behind her) and he lovingly coos at her- like in the cooing scene from earlier. She realizes that he was just faking to get the other guys out and they kiss. Doc comes back in when they are kissing and makes some comment to the effect that Larry can throw that amnesia around- (or something like that) and the movie ends.

Thanks -- that was our number one choice among about three hypotheses.

If anyone's interested, the whole movie is on YouTube right now and I downloaded it. Desperate for Loy/Powell movies and I really loved this one!

If you get a chance to see it again, do -- because the end is a little more involved than that synopsis suggests (tho the synopsis gets high marks for its brevity and for hitting the most important notes), and of course the performances are incredible (there are a lot of subtle shifts/expressions in those final minutes).

I agree about the performances in those final minutes; Powell does a great job pretending to have regressed to uptight Larry, and Loy does an even better job with Kay's shifting emotions.

Ever since getting this on DVD and seeing the trailer for the first time, I've been curious about the final moments. As released, the film ends with that second kiss (after Doc leaves). But in footage from the trailer, we can see that they pull back from that kiss, he says something to her, and they head out of the room. (We can't hear it, because it's just the video being used in the trailer; the audio is music.) I've been irrationally curious as to that original closing line ever since.

Hmmm, that's very interesting! I've never seen the trailer. Any chance that it has closed-captioning or English subtitles that would clue us in? (If yes, please post the info -- I'm curious.) Thanks.
