McQueen's final scene
Several folks in other threads said he was smirking at the end. I'd always thought so too when I saw it on black & white tv re-runs.
But watching it on dvd in color, I see now that he's trying NOT to cry. Many times in the movie when McQueen feels uncomfortable he makes that fake smile/smirk. I guess he doesn't want the stewardess to see him crying. Even his forehead wrinkles up and his face reddens. Poor guy.
I'd have gone with him. Dumb Vicki!
