"Yes, Michael, I am kind of remembering from the movie that, while maybe Laurey doesn't horsewhip Jud, I believe that she does push him out of the carriage, perhaps making him fall to the ground, and she takes off, leaving him behind. I forget how this is handled in the stage version. "
In the show, of course, we don't see Laurey and Jud actually riding to the party. But in the confrontation scene between those two at the party, right before she fires him, he says something like "Why did you whip the horses to get us here faster? It's because you didn't want to be alone with me any longer than you had to." I believe those lines are in the movie as well. |
