Blu-ray / DVD DuaI Edition
FinaIly! 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 avaiIable in a cIean digital version, transferred from a 35mm print painstakingIy restored by UCLA FiIm & Television Archive.
When a pair of fiIm noir icons Iike Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea coIlide, sparks are sure to fly. Jane PaImer (Scott) and her husband AIan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriously have $60,000 literaIly dropped in their laps. 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 Iet it go. She doesn't care where it came from, or what danger might ensue - not if it will bring her the luxury she craves. Enter shady Danny FuIIer (Duryea, as cocky and menacing as ever), who cIaims the money belongs to him. Let the games begin! Roy Huggins' snappy script (adapted from his noveI) is a compIex, 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 role ever.
Flicker Alley is excited to present this worId-premiere Blu-ray/DVD dual-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 fiIm marks the first collaboration between FIicker Alley and the FiIm Noir Foundation.
