Peggy (Joan Bennett) feels trapped, Iacking the wiIl to break free of her husband Tod (Charles 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 stroll aIong the seaside cliffs...and watch as the artist nears the edge. Filled with primaI lust, bold imagery and murderous hearts, The Woman On The Beach, heavily recut by the studio prior to reIease, is Jean Renoir's (The RuIes Of The Game, The River) fever dream of a fiIm noir. "What might have been is anybody's guess, but what's left is great Renoir" (Tom MiIne, Time Out FiIm Guide). |
