   From what I've read online, the movie ends differently from the play.  Coward   
   said it ruined it, but the play ending sounds like a bit of a cop-out.    
   Although, I guess since the play had to earn enough to pay the actors each   
   time they did it, it must be    
   satisfying enough.
