Did he kill his wife?

I have a hard time believing he did, but it would have been nice to have a couple ideas on what the evidence discovered was. He showed nobility multiple times in the film. Murderer didn't seem to fit.

On a slightly separate note... I simply don't understand these people who think it is easier to kill their spouse rather than just divorce and take off -- especially if they are not rich. Never made sense to me... maybe its the rage.

Bottom line is if they in fact found the body, and there were only two people on that boat... it seems clear.

I don't know if they found the body.

It's supposed to be reminiscent of the way Natalie Wood died.

What was your take on the evidence?

No. He clearly has a code of honor. He uses violence as a tool (and always after giving warning); we never once see him lose his cool.

I wasn't too sure, but I rewatched it last night. His unselfish concern for the ranch owner is what made my mind up. He's a good person, and pretty damn in control of his emotions, do I find it hard to think he did it.

In a deleted scene he said he asked her to make him a sandwich, she refused and nature took its course.

I saw a QT interview where he confirms that Cliff’s character was written to have killed his wife on the boat that day. He said it could have been accidental or on purpose but he got away with it.
