I'm trying to remember the title of a movie I just caught the ending of on TV some years ago.
The ending has a guy who seemed to be a sort of former greaser/bad boy type talking with a police officer because it turns out he was on parole or some such and had driven a car against the law. The police officer only found that out because a woman who seemed to be friends with the guy on parole filled out an insurance form without realizing he'd get in trouble for driving the car. She and several others lie to the police officer that they'd made a mistake and that someone else had been driving. The former bad boy tries to be honest but the police officer, not wanting to arrest the guy, pretends to believe the lie and lets him go.
I remember the title had the word "May" in it somewhere (as in the month) and the colors looked like it was a slightly older movie, say from the 50s.
