Female On The Beach

Lynn Markham (Joan Crawford), a recent widow, moves into a beach house where the former owner fell to her death from the balcony. What seemed like an accident turns to suspicion of murder as Lynn finds herself drawn into a torrid affair with a handsome beachcomber (Jeff Chandler) who may be harboring a sinister secret. Directed by Joseph Pevney, Female on the Beach is a stylish showcase for Crawford's intense performance and features Jan Sterling, Cecil Kellaway and Natalie Schafer in key supporting roles.
