Slow fade
Alex Massie joins the debate over the greatest film endings of all time. For me, it has to be the chilling final moments of "Seconds", as Rock Hudson's ill-starred character gradually realizes what is about to happen to him. (It's almost all here. Best not to watch it if you haven't seen the film before, obviously.)
I still can't believe they booed the movie when it was first shown at Cannes. The late, great John Frankenheimer talks about Hudson's role in this documentary clip. Of course, in retrospect you can see why the part of a man who's erased his past might have appealed to him.
