About this episode
We continue Noirvember 2024 with a look at Jean Renoir’s The Woman on the Beach. Released in 1947, the film tells the tale of veteran Scott Burnett played by Robert Ryan. He’s plagued with nightmares caused by his PTSD and is assigned to the mounted division of the Coast Guard where he patrols the beach on his horse, meeting the comely Peggy Butler played by Joan Bennett. She’s married to blind painter Tod Butler played by Charles Bickford. Otto Bruno and Robert Bellissimo join Mike to discuss this compromised film and what could have been.
