Description

OscarÂ(r) nominee* Tony Curtis "blends hard-hitting toughness with humor" (Los Angeles Times) as a Marine who must battle Japanese soldiers, private demons and fellow Marines in this "gripping" (Variety) World War II saga. "Bristling with suspense and rugged action" (The Hollywood Reporter), Beachhead is a classic war drama that delivers plenty of "emotion-stirring heroics" (Boxoffice). Four Marines embark on a hazardous island mission to verify reports about a secret Japanese minefield. The intelligence comes from a French planterwho mayor may not be an Allied spyand his beautiful daughter. If their story is true, can the Marines outgun their enemies, make it through the treacherous jungle, and rendezvous with American forces in time to prevent disaster? *1958: Best Supporting Actor, The Defiant Ones

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars A Good Cast--But That's All.......2005-06-05

The stars of this movie, Tony Curtis, Frank Lovejoy and Mary Murphy have appeared in some good movies. Beachead is not one of them.

I think this was a feeble attempt by the screenwriters to create another "Ambush Bay." They failed.

4 out of 5 stars MARY MURPHY.......2005-05-28

This is just a footnote to the review EXCITING STUFF. Kay's Husband never saw Mary Murphy before this 1954 movie or after. I really liked Mary Murphy in The Wild One (1953) but lest we forget she was also in When Worlds Collide 1951), Come Back, Little Sheba (1952), Plymouth Adventure 1952), Houdini (1953) again with Tony Curtis, The Desperate Hours (1955) with Bogart, a few movies in the 60's and on to TV in the 70's but her stardom was in the mid 50's and she sure was pretty. Don't forget Mary Murphy.
