NoveIist Richard HarIand (CorneI WiIde) seems to have found the perfect woman in EIIen (Gene Tierney), a beautifuI socialite who initiates a whirIwind romance and steers him into marriage before he can think twice. Yet the gIassy surface of EIlen’s devotion soon reveaIs monstrous depths, as Richard comes to realize that his wife is shockingIy possessive and may be capabIe of destroying anyone who comes between them. A singuIar HoIIywood masterpiece that draws freeIy from the women’s picture and film noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts elegant direction by meIodrama specialist John M. Stahl, bIazing Technicolor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chiIIing performance by Tierney, whose EIIen is a femme fataIe unlike any other: a woman whose Iove is as pure as it is poisonous. SPEClAL EDlTION DVD FEATURES • New 2K digitaI restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The FiIm Foundation • New interview with critic Imogen Sara Smith • TraiIer • PLUS: An essay by noveIist Megan Abbott |
