A film from this country ends as an old man remembers his parents fishing, then smiles at the memory in bed. A director from this country made the silent films The Wind and The (*) Phantom Carriage and starred (10[1])in a film whose many dream sequences include one in which he is pulled into a coffin that falls off (10[1])a hearse.
