Female on the Beach
She was TOO HUNGRY FOR LOVE... to care where she found it!
Directed by Joseph Pevney
Produced by Universal International Pictures
A mid-century noir-tinged mystery-romance where a widow navigates desire, deception, and danger at a beach house shadowed by a suspicious death.
Lynn Markham moves into her late husband's beach house the morning after former tenant Eloise Crandall fell from the cliff. To her annoyance, Lynn finds both her real estate agent and Drummond Hall, her beachcomber neighbor, making themselves quite at home. Lynn soon has no doubts of what her scheming neighbors are up to, but she finds Drummond's physical charms hard to resist. And she still doesn't know what really happened to Eloise.
