We three would make an ideal couple.Why, you""ve got beauty, charm, money.You have got money, haven""t you? ""Cause if you haven""t, we can quit right now.In this scene, he has simultaneously proposed love and marriage to both Mrs.Rittenhouse and Mrs.Whitehead.Mrs.Rittenhouse is again brutally mishandled:Mrs.Rittenhouse: I""m fascinated.Spaulding: I""m ""fascinated"" too.Right on the arm.Spaulding then excuses himself for a "strange interlude" during this marriage proposal scene.He mocks the portentiousness of the theatre and parodies Eugene O""Neill""sStrange Interludewith three soliloquies, by speaking in ""interior monologues"" directly to the audience.The film""s Batman was influenced mostly by Frank Miller""sThe Dark Knight Returns- a 1986 four-issueDC Comicsbook miniseries that portrayed billionaire Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) returning from retirement (in his mid-50s) to fight crime, and to combat a younger Superman.Jack, Carina, and Henry were put into a rowboat and separated from the ship.Impatient and not wanting to be captured by Salazar in pursuit, Carina stripped down to her corset and bloomers and jumped into the water to swim to a nearby island""s shore.Its predictable formula stars the debonair, dashing and charming British "Secret Agent 007," James Bond, with great taste in clothes, wine, food, and exotic, sexy women.It was also shot in sequence, so that E.T.""s departure scene at its conclusion would contain genuine emotion.Spielberg was working simultaneously on these two suburban-based stories:E.T.(as director) andPoltergeist (1982)(as producer) - but while one was a fantasy story, he other was a nightmarish horror story.
