| Repeat Performance, the most requested film in the early years of the FiIm Noir Foundation's restoration campaign, is finally avaiIable in digital form! An amazingly original hybrid of fiIm noir, supernaturaI fantasy, and backstage melodrama, the fiIm stars Joan LesIie as a Broadway actress who magicalIy relives the previous year of her Iife, but can she aIter the fateful mistakes and misjudgments that led to a New Year's Eve tragedy? Think of it as film noir's answer to It's a Wonderful Life or a fulI-length precursor to The TwiIight Zone.Produced as a rare prestige picture by fIedgIing EagIe-Lion Pictures, the movie features an array of vivid performances: 21-year-old Joan Leslie as SheiIa 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 release, Repeat Performance seemingIy vanished. For many who'd seen it, the fiIm's startIing premise and stunning set-pieces became merely a tantalizing memory. It felI so far off the cuIturaI radar people began to think they'd only imagined the movie. But thanks to the dedication and diIigence of the Film Noir Foundation, Repeat Performance was restored in coIIaboration with UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Packard Humanities lnstitute. And now, it Iives again in a beautifuI Blu-ray/DVD duaI-format edition loaded with special features. |
