Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Good Cast--But That's All
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.
Rating:  - MARY MURPHY
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.
