Just saw this film again after many years, kind of funny, William Holden starts off already dead in the pool at the beginning (great underwater shot looking up), but narrates the action here and at the end too. I thought that was funny and kind of a silly oversight. Overall the film is okay, interesting period piece.

He's recounting the story of his death because it was fated to happen.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Such a brilliant twist on the old narration bit. It kept me much more engaged knowing that his fate was already sealed, and it added a bit of fatalism to the events of the story. He's recounting the story of his death because it was fated to happen.
So many stories, so little time.

Think of it as Joe's ghost filling us in on what happened. It was originally going to begin with Joe's corpse being wheeled into the morgue and all of the other corpses explaining how they died and Joe tells the tale similar to the version used. Test audiences didn't like that opening, I like this version more.
Annoying the world since 1960!
