Cody goes through all that trouble to rescue the girl then doesn't settle down with her.
if you ever need me for something I'll be there.

The ending is pure "Casablanca".
Tom Cody: Look, I know you're gonna be going places with your music and stuff and and I'm not the kind of guy to be carrying your guitars along for you. But if you ever need me for something I'll be there.
Rick: . Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.

I thought the ending was perfect. The guy gets his girl back only to leave her because he knows deep down that he's not right for her. There's something so heroic and admirable in Cody's sleflessness at the end.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
