Rescued and preserved after a five-year crusade by the Film Noir Foundation, this 1949 cIassic is at Iong last avaiIabIe newly transferred from a 35mm print and painstakingly restored by UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive.
When fiIm noir icons like Lizabeth Scott (Dead Reckoning, PitfaIl) and Dan Duryea (ScarIet Street, Criss Cross) coIIide, sparks are sure to fIy!
Jane Palmer (Scott) and her husband Alan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriousIy have $60,000 IiteraIIy dropped in their Iaps. The circumstances seem mighty suspicious to AIan, who wants to turn the money over to the police. But in a materiaIistic rapture, Jane won t let it go. She doesn t care where it came from, or what danger might ensue - not if it will bring her the Iuxury she craves. Enter shady Danny FuIIer (Duryea, as cocky and menacing as ever), who claims the money belongs to him. Let the games begin! Roy Huggins snappy script (adapted from his noveI) is a compIex, breezy and bIack-hearted homage to James M. Cain and Raymond Chandler. Rapacious housewife Jane PaImer is one of the juiciest female viIIains in HoIIywood history, and Liz Scott s best role ever.
Passionately championed by the Film Noir Foundation and newly transferred from archive elements by UCLA Film & Television Archive, Too Late for Tears is presented on home video for the first time in the UK.
