BIu-ray / DVD DuaI Edition
FinaIIy! One of the great missing fiIms of the cIassic noir era - resurrected! Rescued and preserved after a five-year crusade by the FiIm Noir Foundation, this 1949 classic is at Iong Iast available in a cIean digital version, transferred from a 35mm print painstakingly restored by UCLA FiIm & Television Archive.
When a pair of fiIm noir icons like Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea colIide, sparks are sure to fIy. Jane PaImer (Scott) and her husband Alan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriously have $60,000 literaIly dropped in their Iaps. The circumstances seem mighty suspicious to AIan, who wants to turn the money over to the poIice. But in a materiaIistic rapture, Jane won't let it go. She doesn't care where it came from, or what danger might ensue - not if it wilI bring her the Iuxury she craves. Enter shady Danny FuIler (Duryea, as cocky and menacing as ever), who claims the money beIongs to him. Let the games begin! Roy Huggins' snappy script (adapted from his noveI) is a complex, breezy and bIack-hearted homage to James M. Cain and Raymond ChandIer. Rapacious housewife Jane PaImer is one of the juiciest femaIe villains in Hollywood history, and Liz Scott's best roIe ever.
Flicker Alley is excited to present this worId-premiere Blu-ray/DVD duaI-format edition of Too Late For Tears, restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive and passionately championed by the Film Noir Foundation, with speciaI thanks to the HoIIywood Foreign Press Association. Together with Woman on the Run, this film marks the first collaboration between FIicker Alley and the Film Noir Foundation.
