I finally had them in my hands, the little pieces of paper that Ballin said would let a man rule the world. But first, I was puzzled, because it didn't seem like much. A tungsten mine and a few patents. A dozen or so small corporations joined together to form one organization, with Mundson at the head. But then I saw the potential power of such a group, saw how it could grow and spread and gobble up anyone who dared stand alone against it.Johnny replaces Mundson in two significant, well-matched ways. He becomes head of the monopolistic, evil cartel, asserting himself as "the sole executor" and assuring other board members and stockholders: "It's gonna be business as usual." And he takes Gilda as his wife, and turns their marriage into a punishing trap. The camera peers through a rain-swept window to observe their marriage ceremony before a judge. The rain ends as they leave the judge's chambers, and Gilda interprets the change as a portent of good: "Maybe that means something." |
