A hammer thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock, written by Anthony Dawson, one of Hitchcock's actors. THE SNORKEL describes a perfect crime, or better: an almost perfect crime. 

The murderer pursues a perfidious plan to get rid of his wealthy wife, who turns to someone else. No one suspects anything. For the police, it is suicide. The file is closed. Only 14-year-old Candy, the stepdaughter of the perpetrator, suspects that her mother has fallen victim to a crime.So it must also be eliminated according to the logic of the perpetrator, with the same method: gas. 

For the role of the ice-cold murderer, Hammer producer Michael Carreras engaged a German: Peter van Eyck, who had become internationally known for his participation in the world success LOHN DER ANGST. Above all, the locations give this film a sophisticated flair. Filming took place on the French Riviera and in Italy, in the historic Villa della Pergola in Liguria, which has already served as a source of inspiration for Maxim Gorky, Ernest Hemingway and Alfred Hitchcock.
