Brilliant. It's always been a source of interest for me. Of course, we know the real life meaning of the ring, but even then you have yo ask why it changed hands so often.

One of the good things about having very little background to the characters is that we writers have a wonderfully large playground to run around in :-)

Thank you. Yes, my opinion exactly. There's a lot of scope for our imaginations to run riot.

I read somewhere that the first time he had really forgotten to take it of. And Rather than reshooting the scene he suggested to leave it as it was and try to confuse the viewers a bit.
I must say he got his wish granted, because after 50 years we are still confused and intrigued !

I read that too and I suspect he was being mischievous all the way through until he finally stopped wearing it.
