The Woman on the Beach

other title: 海滩上的女人 / 海滨艳妇(港) …
Woman on the Beach is a controversial film noir, an intense psychological drama about the world�s leading artist, recently blinded, who is obsessed with his condition and takes out his frustrations on his beautiful wife. A Coast Guard officer, recuperating from injuries suffered during the war, is drawn into their quiet conflict, and they become locked in an odd symbiotic relationship. This was the last American film by the French screen legend Jean Renoir. Critically panned when first released, the film later developed a cult following by many who consider it an existential masterpiece.

A WWII Coast Guard veteran, Lt. Scott Burnett (Robert Ryan), is plagued by nightmares of his combat days. One day, he meets a woman, Peggy Butler (Joan Bennett), walking on a beach, picking up pieces of wood. Butler is married to a grumpy, blind painter, Ted Butler (Charles Bickford). Despite his affections for his fianc�e Eve (Nan Leslie), whose father is a boat builder, Scott falls in love with Peggy and soon breaks off the engagement. Peggy reveals that she blinded her husband years earlier by throwing a glass at him during an ugly spat, ruining his career and her own ambitions to be an upper-class socialite. Scott fears that Ted is suspicious that he is having an affair with Peggy and becomes so paranoid that he begins to believe that Ted is faking his blindness — and sets out to prove it. This was the fifth and final American film by the great French writer-director Jean Renoir.

There's Always Tomorrow
★ 7.6 (8 ratings) director: 道格拉斯·塞克 actor: 芭芭拉·斯坦威克 / 弗莱德·麦克莫瑞 …
other title: 断肠弦歌 / 总有明天 …
Douglas Sirk takes the gloves off in this searing view of family life of 50's America. Unlike his famous melodramas, "There's Always Tomorrow" is completely devoid of any beguiling glitz and glamour to sweeten the pill. For its time it’s a bold and unusual work focusing on the husband as the deeply unhappy victim of what outwardly appears to be an ideal family.
Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray share a wonderful chemistry; very different from their famous partnership in "Double Indemnity". Stanwyck, as always, is riveting and MacMurray in his understated way turns in a particularly moving and powerful performance.
Like the best of Sirk's work the film is superbly crafted with the lighting and camera work as meticulous as ever. Perhaps owing to its lack of glamour, "There's Always Tomorrow" has been grossly neglected, being overshadowed by the great melodramas that would follow.
For Sirk admirers this is of course compulsory viewing, but it’s a film well worth taking a close look at for all.
In the bonus segment, director Alison Anders speaks of her love for Sirk calling "There's Always Tomorrow "a perfect movie".
