I must admit...the "security cam" direction of the final shot of this movie is rather funny (especially with Taylor's screaming over the top of it).
shareAnd her looking back at forth at the man in her room and then Brando! Love it!

HAH! and also the way Brian Keith randomly materializes in the final pan to Brando. I was already laughing pretty hard but that really put it over the top.
shareRight? Serving up a ridiculous ending with a mug of Brian Keith! It was terribly comic!
Mush mouth Brando and La Liz are two of the reasons why I am not fond of the films of the 1960's. Watching this was like sitting in the dentist's chair!
thank you someone else found it funny
shareIt looked to me like shear desperation by the director to wring some sense of significance and meaning out of this incredibly vacuous film.

In the 90s, the Spy magazine folks published a book on bad movies, and "RIAGE" was one of the films summarized. The author perfectly described the final shot as the camera whipped "back and forth between Taylor screaming, Forster dead, and Brando...Brando-ing". I've never been able to not laugh at this scene after reading that. And Brian Keith's head popping into the door was the icing on the cake.
Yeah, they're dead; they're--all messed up!
Reminded me of the hypodermic-to-the-chest scene in Pulp Fiction, where Tarantino constantly whipped the camera around to follow the frenetic pacing of the dialogue between Travolta, Stoltz, and Rosanna Arquette (while Uma Thurman lay dying of heroin overdose).
