I'll add the morgue scene. It's so tender, and Bill looks like he wants to kiss Mandy. Perhaps because he thinks she sacrificed her life to save his.

The attendant also looks so respectful, looking away. He appears to have seen many things going on at such viewings.

I noticed, too, that Mandy was not wrapped in the usual sheet. Pretty bold for that actress.

I like Bill's entire night adventure after hearing his wife's confession and ending up almost dead. hah!

The billiard room scene with Ziegler is a scene I studied quite a bit a few years ago. The first time I saw EWS in '99, I remember questioning the lethargic pace of the scene: it goes on for 13 minutes! Later I came to recognize it as one of the most important scenes to decode the meanings and themes of the film. Kubrick spent a great deal of time working it out with Pollack and Cruise.
