NoveIist Richard HarIand (Cornel WiIde) seems to have found the perfect woman in EIlen (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 singular 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, blazing Technicolor cinematography by Leon Shamroy, and a chiIIing performance by Tierney, whose EIlen is a femme fatale unlike any other: a woman whose Iove is as pure as it is poisonous. SPEClAL EDITION DVD FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The Film Foundation • New interview with critic Imogen Sara Smith • TraiIer • PLUS: An essay by novelist Megan Abbott |
