Last line of the Movie


Is the last line of the movie supposed to be a double entendre for sex?

reply

Almost certainly.

If you can't fix it, fix it so nobody else can either!

Yup, but a bit more subtle than the train going into the tunnel in North by Northwest. That one made people spill the old maids from their popcorn boxes back in the day.

The Second Amendment protects the First.

I'll put it this way--I don't think he's talking about his hat!

Might be he's pissing in the chamber pot without spraying all over the edges. Yes, I'm sure that's all it means.

I feel sad for Katherine's character. She believes that G.W. has been unfaithful to her and does not spend anytime trying to find out what changed their marriage. She is constantly humiliated by G.W. and then she undergoes a spanking to bring her to "her senses". It depicts the ethics and the values, even in 1963 about women and John Wayne's true feelings towards women. I don't like how she was portrayed in this movie.

reply

Agree completely. The idea of a woman being 'tamed' by a 'spanking' is repugnant. I would have beaten him to death with a real coal shovel in his sleep.

I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon.

"Beat him to death in his sleep with a shovel"?? Geez! Why don't you say what you really would like to do (See Lorena Bobitt)? I mean DAMN, got much pent up hostility? It's just a friggin MOVIE. Y'know, "fiction"? Sounds like you have a deep seated hatred of men unless they are docile, hen-pecked politically correct version of a male oprah. But then that is typical this day and age. The women want to wear the pants in the family and arent happy unless they can hold their spouse firmly under thumb. Good luck with that.

So let me get this straight. She accuses HIM of being unfaithful to the point of leaving him, and you feel sorry for HER? Got it. Like I said, typical.

Obviously those who responded in the positive did not see the FIRST line of the movie. The answer is no because at the beginning he says the same thing and she has not even returned home as of yet. It is a reference to how many times he has come home drunk.
