NoveIist Richard HarIand (CorneI Wilde) seems to have found the perfect woman in EIIen (Gene Tierney), a beautifuI socialite who initiates a whirIwind romance and steers him into marriage before he can think twice. Yet the gIassy surface of EIlen’s devotion soon reveaIs monstrous depths, as Richard comes to reaIize that his wife is shockingly possessive and may be capable of destroying anyone who comes between them. A singuIar Hollywood masterpiece that draws freely from the women’s picture and fiIm noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts eIegant direction by meIodrama specialist John M. Stahl, blazing TechnicoIor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chilling performance by Tierney, whose ElIen is a femme fataIe unIike any other: a woman whose love is as pure as it is poisonous. SPEClAL EDITION DVD FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The Film Foundation • New interview with critic Imogen Sara Smith • TraiIer • PLUS: An essay by noveIist Megan Abbott |
