Can someone kindly help me?
I struggled to keep awake to see the last 20 minutes of this film last night (actually early morning). It seems I can never see this movie in its entirety, always catching snippets (and never the ending).
I've griped about this before, and I absolutely love TCM, but why do they run so many great and epic films in impossible wee hours and,too often, a lot of crap in prime time? (not that this is a really great film IMO).
Anyway, I actually caught it from the very beginning and dozed a few times for no longer than 2 or 3 minutes, not losing the thread of the plot I don't think.
Of course, I fell off completely about 20 minutes before the end and awoke just as the "exit music" came on the screen. Very pissed off to have invested so much time in the film ONLY TO MISS THE DENOUMENT!!!.
The last thing I recall seeing/hearing was John telling that prick Garwood, in the presence of most of the assembled and essential cast of the film, "the only party you have ever belonged to is the party of yourself" (paraphrasing).
Would someone be kind enough to tell me what happened after this: I'll take anything, broad strokes or as much detail as you want to provide. Your analysis would be most welcomed, too. I loved certain aspects of this film. Thank you in advance!!!
