Haunting Ending

I thought Perkins committed suicide at the end of this film while looking directly into her eyes. That's my take anyway. Ireland's character sure didn't care that Paul got killed at all, she didn't even shed a tear. This movie was too hard to find believable too many things had to happen just perfectly in order for Perkins to have Bronson's character end up killing his wife's lover. It was an okay movie though, definately better than Cold Sweat and Chino which I also veiwed this weekend.

I agree with the first post, I also thought that the ending looked like Perkins's character and Irreland's character seemed to get together again "two hearts beating as one"...she was very peacefull willing to forgive him and not turn him into the police.
This is a very dear movie of mine (I'm a Perkins fan) and I too remember seeing it when I was a kid on television. Now I'm happy I own it.

Jeffreys stopped his wife from getting killed and revealed to her the entire effort he put into getting revenge because she cheated on him. She than ranted about him never having the time for her and how she never felt loved by him. At the end Jeffreys gave her the recording and let her choose, she said he was only guilty of being a fool, ending with them staring at each other. Maybe from uncertainty at first but then into longing. In some way, I feel his wife felt her husband proves that there was still passion in their marriage and their relationship was still salvagable because of the length he went to get revenge. He also didn't go through with her getting murdered. She mentioned how everything in their marriage during her tirade from the marriage where she had to find satisfaction from another man to even the revenge where Jeffreys made someone else go through with it, him handing over the recording could have showed her that this time, he himself is willing to put himself on the line and give up his freedom if it will make her happy. I could also imagine them having rough makeup sex right after that scene.
