 In the truncated version only four shots of the exploding beach house can  still be seen, while the original ending had sixteen shots (totaling over 80  seconds of additional screen time), showing the explosion from new different  angles intercut with shots of: Mike and Velda dragging themselves on the  beach towards the camera with the burning house behind them;  Mike and Velda  seen from behind, walking from the camera towards the surf, lightened by the  flames projecting long shadows on the sand; and finally Mike and Velda  huddled together, kneeling in the water and watching the house burn down as  "The End" is superimposed on the screen.
