Faye was very beautiful in this movie, but what a litterbug! She ripped up Crown's letter, in the graveyard, and threw it in the air; when there was a garbage can right next to her!

This is a highly emotional moment for her. She has lost the love of her life - but made herself a fortune in commission.

And little known movie fact, that letter wasn't written on paper, but rather a non-biodegradable plastic/poly blend material (much like an early disposable diaper) and those pieces are still there today!

Must have been at least a few years. Kojak's lollipop wrappers take that same route and he's a NYC lieutenant.

The City couldn't really do anything about it until the local residents complained.

THEN you would've had a movie!
