I actually wasn't too thrilled with this flick for quite a while into it. I dug the stylization and settings and the acting wasn't too bad but the story seemed lame and predictable to me. BUT... that ending made it all more than worthwhile! So if you you haven't seen "The Snorkel" yet please do. One of my favorite endings even if not one of favorite films.
shareYeah for a moment I thought it was going to be similar to another TCM movie starring Claude Rains called The Unsuspected (1947).That film had a scene with the milk & fake letter too at the end exept the room wasn't sealed. That was a great ending!
It's Saks! There's a reason why Winona stole from there.Their stuff is gorgeous!
This is another of what I've come to call "Hammer's nice little B&W psychological thrillers," though since much is given away right at the start, one of the weaker ones. But that ending was indeed unexpected and very nice!

I just watched the film. I liked it, but would have preferred removing the last scene. IMHO would have liked camera panned to the trap door ending!
"Eye of the Beholder"
Totally agree.
They wasted a great ending...
I laughed when I thought she was going to leave him there. However the girl probably would have been a cold-blooded basket case for the rest of her life if she knew she let a guy rot to death, even if he was evil.
Cheese fries...next time.
Terrible cop-out of an ending. She should have left him there.
shareIf she left him there without telling the police, there would always be a chance he would get out. A cabinet wasn't that heavy to hold down the trap door.
shareOf COURSE it was heavy enough! He'd tried to shift the trap door several times and he seemed quite a physical kind of a guy, no weakling. And did you see the size of that cabinet?!! That wasn't an Ikea chipboard affair, that was really solid furniture. Nope, he'd have suffocated for sure.
shareThe ending was fine. It just needed one thing. Right before the last scene, text on the screen that said "two weeks later..."
shareThis is what happened in those two weeks. Candy fell overboard on the way to America, but the other lady refused to jump in after her, saying, nah, she'll only accuse me of trying to drown her! However, Candy, as we know, was a strong swimmer and managed to use the vortex from the ship's propeller to steer herself against the side where there happened to be a rope dangling down. Unfortunately, the rope had been there, dangling, for several years and no one had noticed just how rotten it was, so Candy got half-way up, the rope snapped and she fell several feet back down into the lap of a surprised seaman who was fishing for barnacles in a glass-bottomed boat. He thought this must be a gift from heaven as he'd always wanted a daughter, but had only sons, and hurriedly rowed back to his island which Candy found much more interesting than America and the sons were quite fun, too. They all lived happily on the island and fished for barnacles. The End.
