Sad orphaned boy looks on |
| Description: |
The film ends with a sad theme as we see the orphaned boy (Wesley's son) standing alone on the dock; the theme is borrowed from In This Our Life (1942), where it was used for two black characters named Minerva and Parry; this final theme swells as the screen fades to black and the words "The End" appear on screen |
