True. No argument and I didn't mean to suggest that
Woolrich's appeal lay solely in his endings. In this
particular case, The Bride Wore Black, the ending does
re-define the revenge (I can't go further without spoiling)
and Truffaut dumped that for a guffaw. It just irked
me.
Last night I finally got around to starting Fright and I'm
just loving Woolrich's New York City (as I did with Manhattan
Love Song) and how it ends is not the point of reading him,
so I agree with you.
