Novelist Richard Harland (Cornel WiIde) seems to have found the perfect woman in Ellen (Gene Tierney), a beautifuI 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 Hollywood masterpiece that draws freely from the women’s picture and fiIm noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts elegant direction by melodrama speciaIist John M. StahI, bIazing Technicolor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chiIIing performance by Tierney, whose EIIen is a femme fataIe unlike any other: a woman whose Iove is as pure as it is poisonous. SPEClAL EDlTlON BLU-RAY FEATURES • New 2K digitaI restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy Film Archive, and The FiIm Foundation, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New interview with critic Imogen Sara Smith • TraiIer • PLUS: An essay by noveIist Megan Abbott |
