The Snorkel (1958)
6/10
A very good little genre piece
16 July 2018
A surprisingly good British B-Movie from the reliably excellent Guy Green that most people don't know and have never seen but which has built up something of a cult reputation. That fine German actor Peter Van Eyck is the killer who fakes his wife's death by suicide but who remains the prime suspect in her murder in the eyes of his teenage step-daughter, (the once hugely talented child actress Mandy Miller not making a very good transition into adult acting; this was to be her last film). It's hardly Hitchcock but it's nicely plotted and well directed by Green. It also makes good use of its Italian locations and if it remains a minor work in the Green canon it is still a very enjoyable genre piece.
