Gene Tierney Movie Recommendation #2

Leave Her to Heaven  (1945; in color)- 1 hr 50 mins

REC#3.jpg

When successful author Richard Harland (Cornel Wilde) and beautiful socialite Ellen Berent (Gene Tierney) meet, they have an instant connection. It isn't long before Ellen decides to break off her engagement with a stable politician (Vincent Price) and marry Richard. But the passionate person that Richard fell in love with and married, over time, reveals herself to be possessive and deadly jealous in more ways than one.

Gene Tierney is perfect in her only Oscar-nominated performance as the quintessential, spellbinding femme fatale. She has everyone, including the audience, in the palm of her hand. If anyone thinks that Gene Tierney is a beautiful but robotic woman, then they haven't seen this movie. She is as evil as evil can be. She is tough. Behind her infamous sunglasses, you can still feel her steely and calculating stare. You can feel the evil. The film was shot in beautiful technicolor by cinematographer Leon Shamroy. It is a must-see film noir and Gene Tierney film!

Availability: Youtube, Amazon, Googleplay, DVD, and Blu-ray.
