A Man on the Beach (1955)

Drama
Release Date: 1955, October 21
Directors: Joseph Losey
Countries: United Kingdom
Production: Hammer Film Productions

Overview:

This weird short manages to pack in fraud, murder, alcoholism and transvestitism, with two somewhat obvious plot twists but a acertain amount of interest in the characterisation and mise-en-scene. You can see Losey's long-take style in its early stages. If anything, his filming is TOO articulate, tipping his hand and giving away plot turns before they happen.
