Jeanne Crain's character says she received a note saying her husband won't be home that tonight and she tells everyone at the dance he had left town with Addie. But on alot of threads here alot of people say all the couples ended up together in the end.
How do you get that? Jeanne left the party. When did it say her husband had come home?
Before Deborah (Jeanne Crain) leaves the dance, Porter (Lora Mae's husband) tells everyone that it was HE that was to run off with Addie, but he changed his mind.
So Deborah's husband was really just out of town on business and would be back in the morning. Deborah just assumed he had left with Addie; the note never said that.
Though Porter expects Lora Mae will now divorce him and has witnesses to his confession....she tells him she didn't hear a thing; he then asks her to dance.
OK, so you think Porter was telling the truth? Another thread thought he was just saying tht to make Jeanne Crain feel better.
I wonder why Jeanne's husband didn't give her more info other than " I will not be home tonight"
Yes, Porter was telling the truth. Thats why he had Rita and George listen as witnesses so Lora Mae could clean him out if she divorced him. He did not want Deborah having a night thinking her husband ran off.
