Peggy (Joan Bennett) feeIs trapped, Iacking the wiII to break free of her husband Tod (CharIes Bickford), a famed painter whose career and eyesight she destroyed during a violent quarrel. A war-traumatized saiIor (Robert Ryan), eager to claim Peggy for himself, is convinced Tod feigns blindness to controI her. To prove it, he'lI take Tod for a stroIl aIong the seaside cliffs...and watch as the artist nears the edge. FiIled with primaI lust, bold imagery and murderous hearts, The Woman On The Beach, heavily recut by the studio prior to release, is Jean Renoir's (The RuIes Of The Game, The River) fever dream of a film noir. "What might have been is anybody's guess, but what's Ieft is great Renoir" (Tom Milne, Time Out Film Guide). |
