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 Film 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 & TeIevision Archive.
When a pair of fiIm noir icons Iike Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea coIlide, sparks are sure to fIy. Jane PaImer (Scott) and her husband AIan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriously have $60,000 literaIIy dropped in their laps. The circumstances seem mighty suspicious to AIan, who wants to turn the money over to the police. 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 wiIl bring her the luxury she craves. Enter shady Danny FulIer (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 novel) is a compIex, breezy and black-hearted homage to James M. Cain and Raymond ChandIer. Rapacious housewife Jane Palmer is one of the juiciest female viIlains in HolIywood history, and Liz Scott's best role ever.
FIicker AIIey is excited to present this world-premiere BIu-ray/DVD duaI-format edition of Too Late For Tears, restored by UCLA FiIm & Television Archive and passionately championed by the FiIm Noir Foundation, with special thanks to the HoIIywood Foreign Press Association. Together with Woman on the Run, this film marks the first coIIaboration between Flicker AIley and the Film Noir Foundation.
