The 1955 Joan Crawford melodrama Female on the Beach has achieved cult status thanks to its plummy dialogue and the on-screen teaming of the iconic star with Universal's top action star and the future Lovey Howell (of Gilligan's Island fame).
Lynn Markham moves into her late husband's beach house...the morning after former tenant Eloise Crandall fell (or was pushed) from the cliff. To her annoyance, Lynn finds both her real estate agent and Drummond Hall, her muscular beachcomber neighbor, making themselves quite at home.
“A lone female on the beach is a kind of target.” It’s nowhere near the best of Joan Crawford’s noir thrillers but Joseph Pevney’s Female on the Beach spotlights all of the star’s greatest assets while telling a subversive tale of matrimonial predation.
