----------------------------Original message---------------------------- <<So we want a list of films in which the protagonist, or at least a major character, at the end of the film, just kind of walks out the door and, without a word to anyone, goes away and doesn't come back.>> I'm a little puzzled. Your "without a word to anyone" is very ambiguous and I'm not sure you mean it. If you don't, then you have missed the Big One: Gable in "Gone With the Wind"! Oh, also Bogart in "In a Lonely Place" Gene Stavis, School of Visual Arts - NYC
