This line by Burt Lancaster is so over the top that I had to laugh when he said it. When he goes to see his former mistress and she keeps putting on an act like she never enjoyed their encounters, he keeps saying, "You loved it." Then she goes in, slams the door, and Burt Lancaster yells real loud, "YOU LOVED IT!" I busted out laughing. My friend was asleep on the couch and woke up as soon as Burt Lancaster yelled, which made the scene even funnier.
shareDid you also see this on TMC? I watched it a couple of weeks ago and also laughed at that scene.
shareYes, that's where I saw it. I know, wasn't it hilarious lol.
shareThere's a clip on youtube of people watching a screening of it and laughing at that scene. Unfortunately I can't access youtube at my office PC, but search for "The Swimmer Trash Palace" and it should be the first video. It's pretty outrageous.
shareSaw it. Yeah the audience seems to be enjoying that part in the movie lol. They were waiting for him to say it too.

Honestly, that's how males react sometime. Whenever our memory confronts us with a past mistake that we consider to be a big one, we tend to want to scream at the top of our lungs. It can be past mistakes at work, school, relationships, etc. I talk to other guys and they feel the same way. Remember the end of the original Planet of the Apes when Taylor is screaming "Damn you all too Hell!"? Although Taylor had a good reason to lose his top, that's basically the same sentiment. A guy will have a gut feeling that says, "Dont do this!" but he'll do it anyway and then later realize he made a huge mistake and curse him and everything beyond his control to Hell.
That's how Taylor felt at the end of Apes. The same with Ned: he realized he shouldn'thave dumped Shirley. It's probable when he dumped her he had a nagging feeling he shouldn't have done it; that's why he called her at her hotel to apologize while she was in bed with the groovy bellhop. He said it tore him apart to see Shirley cry, and he truly loved her. But, despite nagging feelings against it, he ended their affair, perhaps believing it would be best for him and his family. But Shirley probably loved him more than his family. After around two years of not seeing him she still had strong feelings for him.
I understand why you see that part as over the top. I'm not critizing it; just explaining why a guy would react like that. I like this movie because I find it refreshingly realistic alongside a dated cheesiness.
Reminiscent of Heston in Planet of the Apes -- "God Damn You...!!"

that line reading was so ridiculously over the top it took me out. It's like he was in another movie for 5 sec
