Never seen it. What happened in this scene?

The framing device for yhe while movie is that they're searching the wreck to find a priceless necklace, and bring along an old woman who had it when the ship sank to help them. She then tells them her story, moves them into abandoning the search, and in the end it's revealed she had it the whole time when she throws it overboard.

Thanks for the actual explanation without being condescending or demeaning! I appreciate it

Thanks, I actually didn't know this because I've usually fallen asleep while trying to watch that movie with someone lol

I had no idea what I was looking at, then you writing this instantly made me realize the scene.

So yeah, I think the commenter’s got a point

Damn, I had a feeling, it was Titanic, because of the eerie lighting, but I've never watched it, never seen this scene.

I guess, it did narrow things down, though, that it's posted here without explanation...
