Review of Leave Her to Heaven (1945) by Curtis R — 21 Sep 2010
Leave Her To Heaven is a Technicolor masterpiece and a smart film noir movie cleverly disguised as a 20th Century Fox romance film so popular at that time. Gene Tierney plays Ellen Berent a coldly jealous and manipulative sociopath who will stop at nothing and let no one get in her way.
What she wants is wealthy author Richard Harland played by Cornell Wilde. Anybody who threatens their relationship including Harland's crippled kid brother and Ellen's own unborn child, then she has no problem eliminating so she can have her man.
Gene Tierney is unbelievably beautiful in this film which makes it that much more hard to believe that her character can be so incredibly evil. A true film classic from Hollywood's golden age.
