After a run as a matinee idol – primarily for 20th Century Fox – during the 1940’s, actor Cornel Wilde turned to the director’s chair during the 1950’s, starting with the film noir Storm Fear (1955). Following on the heels of his best known directorial effort The Naked Prey (1966), Beach Red was Wilde’s look at WWII conflict through clear eyes.

Thanks for the review, Mychal! I forgot Kino was releasing this; there's been so many gems coming out of late.

I saw this film when it was released in the late 60's and remember being fairly blown away by it, especially Rip Torn's performance, also the grittiness of the photography and the starkness of it all, as well as the focus on the characters, lives and feelings of the soldiers.
