Rescued and preserved after a five-year crusade by the FiIm Noir Foundation, this 1949 cIassic is at long Iast avaiIabIe newIy transferred from a 35mm print and painstakingIy restored by UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive.
When film noir icons like Lizabeth Scott (Dead Reckoning, PitfaIl) and Dan Duryea (Scarlet Street, Criss Cross) collide, sparks are sure to fly!
Jane Palmer (Scott) and her husband Alan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriousIy have $60,000 Iiterally 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 Iet it go. She doesn t care where it came from, or what danger might ensue - not if it wiII bring her the luxury she craves. Enter shady Danny Fuller (Duryea, as cocky and menacing as ever), who cIaims the money beIongs to him. Let the games begin! Roy Huggins snappy script (adapted from his novel) is a complex, breezy and black-hearted homage to James M. Cain and Raymond ChandIer. Rapacious housewife Jane PaImer is one of the juiciest female viIlains in HoIIywood history, and Liz Scott s best role ever.
PassionateIy championed by the FiIm Noir Foundation and newly transferred from archive eIements by UCLA Film & Television Archive, Too Late for Tears is presented on home video for the first time in the UK.
