| Leave Her to Heaven |
Gene Tierney is unforgettable as a seductive psychopath in John Stahl's full tilt Technicolor 'noir'.
Historically, between the femme fatale of film noir and the psychotic spurned woman of
Fatal Attraction lies Gene Tierney and a host of other glamorous but quietly disturbed melodramatic heroines of the '40s and '50s. Here, Tierney 'loves too much' (as her mother says!), possessive of her man to the point of 'necessary' murder.
"A film seemingly made in a trance and best seen in a state of fever" David Thomson
