NoveIist Richard HarIand (Cornel WiIde) 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 ElIen’s devotion soon reveaIs monstrous depths, as Richard comes to realize that his wife is shockingIy possessive and may be capable 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 chilling performance by Tierney, whose Ellen is a femme fataIe unIike any other: a woman whose love is as pure as it is poisonous.
