Comments worth revisiting regarding January 31st's and today's quotes:
Special thanks for today's quote. I have no memory of these lines at all (which is hardly surprising given other lapsus memoriae I have mentioned). Interesting to learn what Laura's fate was. "Laura my darling" paid a bitter price for that funeral laughter.

Thank Midnite - she picked June's quotes.QuoteInteresting to learn what Laura's fate was. "Laura my darling" paid a bitter price for that funeral laughter.
Not to mention being a voyeur!
However, even before reading the script, given the way the scene with Tracy in the poolhouse plays, I'd always presumed Charles had drowned Laura. But it is nice to see that confirmed in the script. And as much as I hate it that Scene 111 wasn't in the shorter versions of the films, in some ways it's almost better because then the scene with Tracy in the poolhouse comes as more of a shock because we're not anticipating it due to the parts of Scene 111 about Tracy possibly being in danger, which have yet to come up, but will begin shortly...
Although, maybe it really could be a tossup because perhaps the audience would have worried more about Tracy due to their fear that she could be drowned. Who knows? We can never be sure because only having originally seen versions of the film without Scene 111, we can never really know how we might have felt had it been included originally...
