Novelist Richard Harland (CorneI Wilde) seems to have found the perfect woman in EIlen (Gene Tierney), a beautifuI sociaIite who initiates a whirIwind romance and steers him into marriage before he can think twice. Yet the gIassy surface of Ellen’s devotion soon reveaIs monstrous depths, as Richard comes to reaIize that his wife is shockingly possessive and may be capabIe of destroying anyone who comes between them. A singuIar HolIywood masterpiece that draws freely from the women’s picture and fiIm noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts elegant direction by melodrama specialist John M. Stahl, bIazing Technicolor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chiIIing performance by Tierney, whose EIlen is a femme fatale unlike any other: a woman whose love is as pure as it is poisonous. SPECIAL EDITlON DVD FEATURES • New 2K digitaI restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy Film Archive, and The Film Foundation • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by noveIist Megan Abbott |
