I've already said I thought the former screenwriters missed the point as far as Madge is concerned: Paul Gégauff made her Tom 's lover in "plein soleil "; and Minghella turned her towards the ending in some kind of young detective who had discovered Tom 's ominous plan .
Although Tom 's hatred for that "silly goose " was somewhat sweetened , you may remember his disgust and his boredom when he corrected the so -called writer's gibberish ;that his book was finally published is entirely due to her short-lived rise to fame as an actor of the Greenleaf affair ;the letter in which Madge tells Dickie that she knows he prefers his boyfriend appears earlier in the novel,but you should hear Tom laugh out loud when he reads those "melodramatic" sentences .
This episode is slow-moving and prepares the future Tom 's comeback to his true identity ; all the actors, from the concierge to tycoon Greenleaf must be aware that Dickie is suicidal and eaten with remorse ....Macabre entertainment indeed .
