MID-CENTURY POST-MODERN: ‘THE TENDER TRAP’ END CREDITS

Yesterday I posted the opening title sequence of ‘The Tender Trap’ (1955). Today I offer up the ending of the film and its adjacent ‘The End’ sequence. (Spoiler: everyone falls in love and is happy). Perhaps tomorrow I’ll begin posting the reel changes. I like the idea of posting the film in such small increments (and completely out of order) that we get, in effect, a re-imagining of the entire enterprise, one which slyly brings out the film’s currently hidden tragic undertones. By the way, is there a name for the font used on the credits? If I asked somebody to design my credits using ‘funny 50s font’ would they know what I meant? I dig the way the ‘J’s’ look, thus making Carolyn Jones and Joey Faye my favorite cast members.
