Customer Reviews

A very good film noir in technicolor
In 1944 Gene Tierney was Laura in Otto Preminger's classic of the same name. The next year, possibly because of that film, Fox made her star again as a "femme fatale" - only this time more "fatale". She plays a woman obsessed with her father, and the projected image of him in her newly found husband. To tell more, would be to spoil the film. She got her only Oscar nomination for this film (again, the omission in the previous year with "Laura" might have something to do with it) and its spellbinding to see her in muted technicolor, more beautiful than ever - yes, this is a film noir shot in colour. The cast also includes Jeanne Crain and Cornel Wilde (two of Fox's biggest starts at the time) and also Vincent Price as Tierney's rejected lover. The DVD is a barebone release with a copy that has its moments. Starts quite badly to improve as it goes on. Not a perfect film, but I was glad to find some new charm in it when I saw it recently.
