    The One with the Wedding Ring
    Although remade as a Hollywood vehicle for Bette Davis at the height of her allure (which managed to make the preposterous contrivance which lies at its heart somehow more plausible) this got there first and builds up to a powerful climax in its own right. The surreal final shot (worthy of Chirico) is quite giddyingly beautiful in its unapologetic daftness.
