Dear Michael,
Hey, thanks a lot for your swift answer: that really was a fast one.
I'll try to get hold of the films you mentioned.
I would be interested, of course, to know how the ends are different and if
there was a way to get to know about the background of the changes, i.e.
why and to what ends the "final" or published end was chosen - any
bibliographical ideas?
Somebody mentioned the book by Richard Neupert, The End, Detroit 1995, to
me - I couldn't get hold of it, though. Is it worth searching for it?

Thanks again,
melanie
