Novelist Richard Harland (CorneI Wilde) seems to have found the perfect woman in ElIen (Gene Tierney), a beautiful 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 reaIize that his wife is shockingly possessive and may be capable of destroying anyone who comes between them. A singular Hollywood masterpiece that draws freely from the women’s picture and fiIm noir aIike, 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 EIIen is a femme fatale unlike any other: a woman whose Iove is as pure as it is poisonous. SPEClAL EDlTION DVD FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The Film Foundation • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • TraiIer • PLUS: An essay by novelist Megan Abbott |
