The Fear of Getting Caught
When Gypsy and Nick flee after Dee Dee’s murder, ‘The Act’ portrays Gypsy as being incredibly nervous that they will get caught. She is even seen in a panic when policemen appear near her and find it incredibly difficult to compose herself. However, according to Gypsy herself, this is far from the truth – in fact, she was convinced both she and Nick would get away with it.

“We thought that we would never get caught,” she later said in an interview. “I felt like this was a fairy tale, and I was going to be the princess that gets rescued, and then I’d be happy in Wisconsin where I’d be loved, and I’d have my freedom, and have this wonderful new life. What started as a fairy tale ended as a horror movie.”
