A Day at the Beach

A Day at the Beach (1970)

GP 01 May 1970 • Drama • 1h 33m

Bernie, a self-destructive drunk, spends a rainy day on the beach of a rundown Danish seaside resort with a little girl named Winnie, who wears a steel leg brace, and who may - or may not - be his niece or daughter. He spouts poetry, encounters a gay kiosk keeper (Peter Sellers, in a cameo), guzzles beer, and gets drunker and drunker, often ignoring the little girl, until he finally collapses on a street.
