Crazy Credits

At the film comes to the classical "The End" over the final shot of the two
main characters in background, instead of the usual fade-out, Columbia
Pictures added the advertisement: "You have just seen our New Personality -
ALDO RAY - Please watch for his next picture." In the background, a short
sequence of Aldo Ray speaking (no dialogue heard - simply the remaining
ending score) in a bedroom setting seen in the movie. See more »
