A trip to a shabby seaside resort for Bernie (Mark Burns) and his crippled daughter, Winnie (Beatrice Edney), devolves into a shameful display of neglect and addiction as the alcoholic, self-pitying Bernie medicates his bitterness with liquor until he’s staggering drunk. Director Simon Hesera’s offbeat 1970 drama features a script penned by Roman Polanski and a nuanced cameo by Peter Sellers as a gay merchant.
