wrong ending
[edit]The ending you wrote about Born To Be Bad is wrong. Joan Fontaine doesn't get into a car accident The Who actor who painted her portrait is the last scene of him changing the price on the portrait the movie ends after that. I just just finished watching Reeky55 (talk) 08:06, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- I've removed the obiously wrong sentence.

The ending described above wasn't necessarily "wrong." There were two endings to this movie: "The script ran into trouble with the Hays Code because of the “implication of illicit sex which is treated without the proper compensating moral values,” referring to the married Christabel’s affair with Nick. Somehow, Hughes got the script approved, but when the movie was ready for release, objections were made again and an alternate ending was presented to the Production Code office. It’s unclear when this ending was shot, but it was reserved for overseas audiences. However, the National League of Decency objected to the foreign version which Hughes then withdrew. The film was finally released in 1950.
In the original ending, Christabel drives away from Curtis’ home after he throws her out with only a few furs to show for her marriage. The portrait of her painted by Gobby is shown going up in price because of the scandal she made. In the alternate ending, she gets into a car crash driving away and is taken to the hospital where she seduces the married surgeon who operates on her. Another scandal is created, and the price of the portrait goes up once more. Christabel seeks the advice of a lawyer. He agrees to meet her for cocktails and tells his secretary on the way out, “Call my wife and tell her I may not make it for dinner.” The price of the portrait hits $1,000." See Restored by HFPA: “Born to Be Bad” (1950)
I propose adding a section to the page that talks about both endings. 97.127.19.71 (talk) 22:07, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Definition
[edit]I changed the phrase "drama, melodrama" in the introduction to "film noir melodrama." I included the reference in the edit summary, but I don't know if I did it correctly because (except for a one word typo) this is my first edit. The reference is Film Noir Guide by Michael F. Keaney, McFarland & Company Inc., (c) 2003. I just realized I left off the page number, which is p. 62 (available at Internet Archives). Obviously I don't know how to number a reference. ````Pete Best Beatles — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:803:8081:4DC0:DD58:4EFE:7570:FE92 (talk) 06:23, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
