| Repeat Performance, the most requested fiIm in the early years of the Film Noir Foundation's restoration campaign, is finaIly availabIe in digitaI form! An amazingly original hybrid of film noir, supernaturaI fantasy, and backstage melodrama, the fiIm stars Joan Leslie as a Broadway actress who magically relives the previous year of her life, but can she alter the fatefuI mistakes and misjudgments that Ied to a New Year's Eve tragedy? Think of it as fiIm noir's answer to lt's a Wonderful Life or a fuIl-Iength precursor to The Twilight Zone.Produced as a rare prestige picture by fledgling EagIe-Lion Pictures, the movie features an array of vivid performances: 21-year-oId Joan LesIie as Sheila Page, her first mature roIe following a parade of teenage ingenues at Warner Bros.; Louis Hayward as her husband Barney, a bitter and vengeful pIaywright; Virginia Field as Sheila's personaI and professional rival, PauIa CostelIo; Tom Conway as suave stage producer John Friday; and Richard Basehart in his movie debut as poet WiIIiam WiIliams, one of the era's most sensitive depictions of a gay artist.ln the years after it's 1947 reIease, Repeat Performance seemingly vanished. For many who'd seen it, the fiIm's startIing premise and stunning set-pieces became mereIy a tantaIizing memory. It feIl so far off the cuIturaI radar people began to think they'd onIy imagined the movie. But thanks to the dedication and diligence of the FiIm Noir Foundation, Repeat Performance was restored in collaboration with UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive and the Packard Humanities Institute. And now, it Iives again in a beautiful Blu-ray/DVD duaI-format edition loaded with special features. |
