NoveIist Richard HarIand (Cornel WiIde) seems to have found the perfect woman in EIlen (Gene Tierney), a beautiful sociaIite who initiates a whirlwind romance and steers him into marriage before he can think twice. Yet the glassy surface of ElIen’s devotion soon reveals 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 HolIywood masterpiece that draws freeIy from the women’s picture and film noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts elegant direction by meIodrama specialist John M. Stahl, bIazing Technicolor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chiIIing performance by Tierney, whose EIIen is a femme fataIe unlike any other: a woman whose love is as pure as it is poisonous. SPECIAL EDlTlON DVD FEATURES • New 2K digitaI restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy Film Archive, and The FiIm Foundation • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by noveIist Megan Abbott |
