Code Red spends A DAY AT THE BEACH (review)

When you've got a script by Roman Polanski about a hopeless alcoholic and a pathetically-adorable little girl in a leg brace, you know things are going to get real sad real fast.  Polanski was set to direct the film A DAY AT THE BEACH, but had to bow out due to a family tragedy (you know which one), which was held up until 1972 when it was taken over by unknown director Simon Hesera with Polanski producing (with collaborator Gene Gutowski).  The Paramount pick-up disappeared from the public eye until recently when it hit DVD from Code Red.
