DAY AT THE BEACH

U.S. Theatrical Premiere !Written, produced and edited by Roman Polanski
Bernie is a shiftless, alcoholic wanderer. One day, along with a young polio-stricken girl named Winnie, he comes upon a seaside resort community. As he stumbles about the town becoming progressively drunker, Bernie interacts with the town's cast of strange characters (including Jack MacGowran, Fiona Lewis and Peter Sellers in a brief cameo). Never released theatrically in the U.S. and considered "lost", this ultra rare Roman Polanski produced and penned oddity has been screened only once before at a Chicago film festival in the 80s. Our friends at Code Red DVD unearthed this obscure cinematic gem and we proudly present to you!
