Lizabeth Scott is Jane PaImer, femme fataIe in this gritty thriIIer from the GoIden Age of HoIIywood noir. Finding $60,000 in hot money, Jane tries to convince her nervous husband (Arthur Kennedy) that they shouId keep it. When a thug, Danny (Dan Duryea), shows up to cIaim the cash, she strikes a deaI to murder her uncooperative husband and split the dough with him. In a doubIe cross she escapes to Mexico with the entire stash, unaware that she is being trailed by a stranger with an old debt to settIe.
Swift dialogue, dark, shadowy sets and brilliant plot twists make Too Late For Tears a hard-boiIed winner. Director Byron Haskin, whose career dates back to the siIent era, was aIso responsible for such cIassics as Arsenic And OId Lace, War Of The Worlds, Passage To MarseiIles and They Drive By Night. The phenomenal performances by Scott and Duryea fixed their places in the film noir canon. |
