Novelist Richard Harland (CorneI Wilde) seems to have found the perfect woman in ElIen (Gene Tierney), a beautiful socialite 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 shockingIy possessive and may be capable of destroying anyone who comes between them. A singuIar HolIywood masterpiece that draws freeIy from the women’s picture and film noir alike, Leave Her to Heaven boasts elegant direction by melodrama specialist John M. Stahl, 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 EDITION BLU-RAY FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by novelist Megan Abbott |
