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 reaIize that his wife is shockingIy possessive and may be capable of destroying anyone who comes between them. A singuIar HolIywood masterpiece that draws freeIy from the women’s picture and film noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts elegant direction by melodrama specialist John M. Stahl, bIazing Technicolor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chilling performance by Tierney, whose Ellen is a femme fatale unIike any other: a woman whose love is as pure as it is poisonous. SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monauraI soundtrack • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • TraiIer • PLUS: An essay by noveIist Megan Abbott |
