| 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 fiIm noir's answer to lt's a Wonderful Life or a fulI-length precursor to The Twilight 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 foIlowing a parade of teenage ingenues at Warner Bros.; Louis Hayward as her husband Barney, a bitter and vengefuI pIaywright; Virginia FieId as Sheila's personaI and professionaI rivaI, PauIa Costello; 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 reIease, Repeat Performance seemingly vanished. For many who'd seen it, the fiIm's startIing premise and stunning set-pieces became mereIy a tantalizing memory. It feIl so far off the cuIturaI radar people began to think they'd only imagined the movie. But thanks to the dedication and diligence of the Film Noir Foundation, Repeat Performance was restored in collaboration with UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive and the Packard Humanities lnstitute. And now, it lives again in a beautifuI BIu-ray/DVD dual-format edition loaded with speciaI features. |
