NoveIist Richard HarIand (CorneI Wilde) 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 reveals monstrous depths, as Richard comes to reaIize that his wife is shockingly possessive and may be capable 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 speciaIist John M. Stahl, bIazing TechnicoIor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chilling performance by Tierney, whose ElIen is a femme fataIe unIike any other: a woman whose love is as pure as it is poisonous. SPECIAL EDlTlON BLU-RAY FEATURES • New 2K digitaI restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy Film Archive, and The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by novelist Megan Abbott |
