The movie was on TCM today. Not bad, but not one of Preminger’s best, and I’m not a fan of Carol Lynley.
Anyway, the ending is changed from the book. I’ve Googled five pages and all I’ve been able to find is that the book’s ending is a “deus ex machina”. Oh, and the character of the brother (Keir Dullea in the movie) apparently wasn’t in the book at all, so Bunny wasn’t found in the trunk of his car.
There are several in-depth reviews of the novel, but for some reason, no one wants to give away the ending. I could read the book, but the reviews aren’t that great.
Anyone know? I’d be surprised but I’ve been surprised before at what Dopers are familiar with.
