Very unusual to see an actual comforting scene with the male lead starting to cry in 1961. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_IDHLd6DE ( It's at 1:29:00) and he also has teary eyes at the end of the film .
Interesting. And of course this makes me realize I've never seen him as anything but Norman
Male crying in old movies seem rare but they do occasionally crop up. See also Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life.
