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 (Roobert 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 (Joan Bennett). She’s married to blind painter Tod Butler (Charles Bickford). All three of them are plagued by "ghosts" from their past.
