Yes, Ellen survived. Remember in the movie, they stated that she would undergo the heart treatment in early Spring. At the end of the movie, the camera centers on a full bloomed tree that you only see in the Spring, so yes Ellen survived and lived happily ever after with Dan Pierce.
shareThank you!
shareI wonder if many people miss a lot of conversation. I use closed captioning all the time and never have these questions.
Try it. You'll like it.
If you live in Los Angeles like I do, there's really no such thing as "fall" or "spring", it's 8 months of pleasant weather and 4 months of beastly heat, close captioning wouldn't have helped.
Yes, a happy ending for Ellen and Dan. I'm a big Van Johnson fan, he does a good job in this as he goes from money chaser to truly being in love. Dorothy McGuire does a *great* job in this, her scene when she realizes the truth about her condition and that Dan married her for her money is fantastic.
7/10 for me.

You'll like it.I'm also a big fan of closed captioning. It's always on but I usually don't need to read every word. I mostly use it when I have to rewind because I missed or couldn't understand what was said. It drives my guests crazy so if I'm watching with others I usually turn it off. Ironically, that's when I tend to need it the most because of interference and distractions.

Good for you, mdonin. We, in the hearing loss world, fought like the devil to get CC on almost everything. I have had a lifelong hearing loss and in recent years it had become profound. Finally, I received a cochlear implant whereby my speech discrimination increased from 40% to 90-95%. Now I watch TV and see the captioners make mistakes in what THEY are hearing. What a turnabout, don't you think?

I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to navigate the hearing world.
We, in the hearing loss world, fought like the devil to get CC on almost everything.I'm very grateful to the hearing loss community for their efforts in this regard. My non-English speaking friends and relatives use Closed Captioning to enhance their understanding of what's going on onscreen. It also helps them learn the language.
As I said, I usually have it turned on so I notice that it's not available on all movies. That must be extremely frustrating for people who really rely on the service.
What frustrates me is how often the captions are wrong. I notice a lot of mistakes and omissions. That can be problematic and make it hard for a hearing impaired person to follow the plot. There are also problems with delays or, worse, captioning that comes on the screen a little too soon; spoiling a surprise scene.
Now I watch TV and see the captioners make mistakes in what THEY are hearing.I'm still not clear how the captioning is produced. A lot of it seems to be done using speech-recognition technology. A have to assume a human 'translator' would be more conscientious. Knowing the importance of what they're doing I'd assume they'd try their best to get things right by using a script or reviewing their work against the source.
