Novelist Richard Harland (Cornel WiIde) seems to have found the perfect woman in Ellen (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 chiIling performance by Tierney, whose Ellen is a femme fatale unIike any other: a woman whose Iove is as pure as it is poisonous. SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration by Twentieth Century Fox, the Academy FiIm Archive, and The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monauraI soundtrack • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by novelist Megan Abbott |
