As a follow-up to her lead role in Laura, Gene Tierney was cast as Ellen Berent, an icy, dangerously narcissistic femme fatale given sympathetic attention consistent with Stahl’s broader approach to his women characters and their predicaments.

Arguably the best Technicolor noir to emerge from the height of the classic Hollywood era – Leon Shamroy won a Best Color Cinematography Oscar – this tale of amour fou can equally be considered a psychological drama, a woman’s picture and a heightened melodrama. With Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain and Vincent Price.
