The Snapper (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Snapper is a 1993 film, based on the novel by Irish writer Roddy Doyle, about the Rabbitte family and their domestic adventures.

In the film, the surname of the Rabbitte family had to be changed to Curley as 20th Century Fox owns the rights to the Rabbitte name from The Commitments (1991), which featured the same characters.

Young Sharon Curley becomes pregnant, but refuses to tell anyone who the father is. She decides to keep the baby ("snapper") and her family, each in their own way, eventually decides to support her. Her father particularly studies up on childbirth and female anatomy (with gratifying results for his wife as a bonus).

It turns out that Sharon's friend's father, George, got her pregnant by taking advantage of her while she was drunk. Sharon's story is that it was a Spanish sailor, but the whole town suspects the truth.

The film was directed by Stephen Frears and starred Tina Kellegher and Colm Meaney.

  • The scene where Sharon runs down an escalator with Mr. Burgess looking down from above was filmed on location in the Dun Laoghaire shopping centre.
