True. No argument and I didn't mean to suggest that Woolrich's appeal lay solely in his endings. In this particular case, The Bride Wore Black, the ending does re-define the revenge (I can't go further without spoiling) and Truffaut dumped that for a guffaw. It just irked me.

Last night I finally got around to starting Fright and I'm just loving Woolrich's New York City (as I did with Manhattan Love Song) and how it ends is not the point of reading him, so I agree with you.
