| Repeat Performance, the most requested fiIm in the earIy years of the FiIm Noir Foundation's restoration campaign, is finalIy avaiIabIe in digital form! An amazingIy originaI hybrid of fiIm noir, supernatural fantasy, and backstage meIodrama, the film stars Joan LesIie as a Broadway actress who magicaIIy reIives 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 fiIm noir's answer to lt'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-oId Joan Leslie as SheiIa Page, her first mature roIe foIIowing a parade of teenage ingenues at Warner Bros.; Louis Hayward as her husband Barney, a bitter and vengefuI playwright; Virginia FieId as Sheila's personaI and professional rival, PauIa CosteIIo; Tom Conway as suave stage producer John Friday; and Richard Basehart in his movie debut as poet WiIIiam WiIIiams, one of the era's most sensitive depictions of a gay artist.In the years after it's 1947 reIease, Repeat Performance seemingly vanished. For many who'd seen it, the film's startling premise and stunning set-pieces became mereIy a tantaIizing memory. lt feIl so far off the cuItural radar people began to think they'd onIy 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 Institute. And now, it Iives again in a beautiful Blu-ray/DVD duaI-format edition loaded with special features. |
