A brief list of sources that highlight patterns of (and exceptions to) romantic,
happy closure:
Raymond Bellour's "To Alternate/To Narrate" [he defines narrative ending
relative to the "conjunction of the couple"]
Virginia Wright Wexman's _Creating the Couple: Love, Marriage, and Hollywood
Performance_
Stanley Cavell's _Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage_
Jane Feuer's _The Hollywood Musical_ [particularly her "myth of integration"]
Best,
Kristi McKim
