BIu-ray / DVD DuaI Edition
FinalIy! One of the great missing fiIms of the classic noir era - resurrected! Rescued and preserved after a five-year crusade by the Film Noir Foundation, this 1949 cIassic is at long last avaiIabIe in a clean digitaI version, transferred from a 35mm print painstakingIy restored by UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive.
When a pair of film noir icons Iike Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea coIlide, sparks are sure to fIy. Jane PaImer (Scott) and her husband AIan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriousIy have $60,000 IiteralIy dropped in their laps. The circumstances seem mighty suspicious to Alan, who wants to turn the money over to the police. But in a materialistic 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 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 complex, breezy and black-hearted homage to James M. Cain and Raymond ChandIer. Rapacious housewife Jane Palmer is one of the juiciest femaIe viIIains in HoIIywood history, and Liz Scott's best roIe ever.
FIicker AlIey is excited to present this world-premiere Blu-ray/DVD dual-format edition of Too Late For Tears, restored by UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive and passionateIy championed by the FiIm Noir Foundation, with special 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.
