VHS : Leave Her To Heaven [1946]

Rating: - A fine melodrama of the 40's
Gene Tierney, one of the most beautiful woman of the silver screen, earned an Oscar nomination for her part on this movie.
She is playing a beautiful, but rather confused woman, which is terrible jealous, of everyone or everything that may stand between her and the man, she loves.
She is trying to murder the little brother of her husband, and she is trying to do the same thing with her unborn child.
Gene Tierney succeeds to earn admiration for her talent, and it is really pitty that personal problems have forced her to semi-retire in the mid-50's. She could have given classic portraits of beautiful women in other films, as she does here. (She died in '91.)
Although it is a melodrama, and to some viewers it may seem rather dated, the direction of John M. Stahl, and the supporting cast including Cornel Wilde, as Tierney's husband, Jeanne Crain, as her cousin, and Vincent Price, as the politicial, to whom she was engaged before she got married to Wilde, create a movie which is a must-see of the 40's.
