Too quick?
His entire life he got the short end. Lost his hearing in one ear as a kid. Dad died forcing him to take over the business. Lost out on his honeymoon because of his work. Saw all his friends go off to riches, fortune, and fame while he got stuck in a town that he wanted to leave since he was a kid.
His entire life he was fighting against. Finally he gets a hand be can’t beat. He’s facing jail and the total destruction of his reputation. His wife and kids will be homeless pariahs. His life is ruined and be lost everything he fought to keep.
Yelling at his wife and kids and attempting suicide is a very realistic response. He fought longer than most men could bear.

I used to think it was a stupid movie as a newlywed (it was and is my wife’s favorite). Now I cry along with her every time I watch it. It hits pretty close to home.
Yes, -- Too quick, (in film time).
George went through all you describe and then in the course of what three minutes he snaps and contemplates suicide?
It is a weakness in an great movie. I do not buy it. George would have excised those devil's years ago.
That was very well said. If you see someone in a store with over the counter kids’ cold medicine, and he looks frazzled, even if you’re running late and fighting a headache and you have a full cart, ask them to go ahead of you. You’ll be glad you did.
