Interesting. Personally I would love to see an ultimate edition of Plane's Train's And Automobiles.
As someone who loves acting, but also film-making and editing footage. I would be up to the task and love to be given the chance of shifting through all the footage, to bring a new complete edition, putting back in lots of footage, if it still exists.
As much as I love Plane's Trains and Automobiles, now that I know lots of footage was removed from the final film. I feel and sense there is a lot missing, a new complete version of the film would be great.
It wouldn't replace what we got now, but it would be an alternative that could be fun to visit and watch. Especially since John Candy is no longer with us, it would be nice to see footage of him acting in scenes, that we haven't seen before. -

That is really interesting, yes, I agree, having Del snip a $20 out of Neil's wallet would not have made him much of a sympathetic character. Hughes, I think, really had found the right balance and transforming Neal into a better man at the end was a really great payoff for a movie. Someone here, quite a while back, had mentioned that there was supposed to be a scene that explained the huge trunk, that Del was carrying around artifacts from the home he had shared with Marie, I think that would have had me bawling my eyes out so I am glad they didn't show that part either

Try to make up your mind.

Actually that does clear up something I always found weird about the movie. The wife's reactions always seemed so melodramatic to me. Like seriously lady your husband's just a little late, it's not that big of a deal!
But now, ok so that's why she's so happy at the end especially seeing that Del is real. I'll just keep that info for my own head cannon the next time I watch. -

That was always a mystery to me as well. The way they look at each other when he finally makes it home, and the way Del and her greet each other was always very strange to me. It was as if something else was going on - well now we know.
Great post - thanks! -

Me too. In my mind, the way she and Del looked at each other, I thought perhaps THEY had an affair and knew each other! Neal is probably thinking at the end he can kill two birds with one stoneoffer a place for Del to have Thanksgiving dinner, and prove to his wife that he's real.

After reading this I caught that bit in the diner about the pizza. I always wondered where Del got the beer from he spilled on the bed in the motel! so I guess this ties that together.

It seems like she was made out to be a real bitch who had it in her mind that the only reason Neal was late getting home is because he was having an affair and that he made up "Del Griffith" as a cover up, for this woman he was sneaking around with.
This really explains her response of
"What's going on Neal?"
when he tells her he's in Kansas - and her
"I don't see what the snowstorm in Chicago has to do with this"
line.
I always felt she sounded skeptical of Neal in that scene or odd in the context of the film, but knowing this backstory, it makes sense now.
