Ending cut off by TMC


Recorded this on November 3rd on TMC. It was listed as only two hours on the schedule, which is of course not the entire movie. So could someone please detail what happens in the end, just after Buster's character leaves the dressing room.

SPOILER ALERT:

I did some digging and found some answers. Apparently Calvero's act is a great success but he suffers a hear attack during the performance. Terry is comforting him backstage but she must go on and perform next. While she is performing, Calvero dies.

Here's a documentary where you can see some of the ending beginning at 14:40

Small world, I'm in NC also.
Thanks for the response; it was so frustrating when delete prompt appeared before the end of the movie.

I just watched it last night... I found the final 6 1/2 minute scene on youtube and watched it.. It looks like the only part then missed was his some of his final skit on stage
