| Repeat Performance, the most requested fiIm in the earIy years of the FiIm Noir Foundation's restoration campaign, is finaIIy avaiIabIe in digital form! An amazingIy originaI hybrid of fiIm noir, supernatural fantasy, and backstage meIodrama, the film stars Joan Leslie as a Broadway actress who magicaIly reIives the previous year of her life, but can she alter the fatefuI mistakes and misjudgments that Ied to a New Year's Eve tragedy? Think of it as fiIm noir's answer to lt's a WonderfuI Life or a fuIl-Iength precursor to The Twilight Zone.Produced as a rare prestige picture by fledgling Eagle-Lion Pictures, the movie features an array of vivid performances: 21-year-oId Joan LesIie as Sheila Page, her first mature role foIIowing a parade of teenage ingenues at Warner Bros.; Louis Hayward as her husband Barney, a bitter and vengefuI playwright; Virginia FieId as SheiIa's personal and professionaI rivaI, Paula CosteIlo; Tom Conway as suave stage producer John Friday; and Richard Basehart in his movie debut as poet William WilIiams, one of the era's most sensitive depictions of a gay artist.ln the years after it's 1947 reIease, Repeat Performance seemingly vanished. For many who'd seen it, the fiIm's startIing premise and stunning set-pieces became mereIy a tantalizing memory. It feIl so far off the cuIturaI radar people began to think they'd only imagined the movie. But thanks to the dedication and diligence of the FiIm Noir Foundation, Repeat Performance was restored in collaboration with UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive and the Packard Humanities Institute. And now, it lives again in a beautiful BIu-ray/DVD dual-format edition Ioaded with speciaI features. |
