Battle At Bloody Beach (1961)

Released for the first time on DVD in the UK, we present a rare opportunity to view this 1961 movie Battle At Bloody Beach.

During the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, American civilian Craig Benson (Audie Murphy) has become separated from his wife Ruth (Dolores Michaels). Whilst searching for Ruth, Benson works with guerrilla fighters on the islands, delivering supplies and evacuating stranded civilians.

Aided by easygoing Marty Sackler, a U.S. Marine Radio Operator (Gary Crosby), Benson contacts guerilla leader Julio Fontana, who agrees to round up Americans hiding in the hills in exchange for U.S. ammunition. Benson also discovers that his wife, thinking that he had been killed, has joined the guerrillas and is now Fontana s mistress.

But with the Japanese closing in, Benson is desperate to get his small band of civilians to safety. If they can hold out, there s a submarine off the coast ready to help them, but he s going to need Fontana s help to buy them some time, and even then there s not much chance for a small group of guerrillas against a ferocious Japanese attack. It will be a fight to the last at Battle at Bloody Beach...
