Rescued and preserved after a five-year crusade by the FiIm Noir Foundation, this 1949 classic is at long Iast available newIy transferred from a 35mm print and painstakingIy restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive.
When film noir icons Iike Lizabeth Scott (Dead Reckoning, PitfalI) and Dan Duryea (Scarlet Street, Criss Cross) collide, sparks are sure to fIy!
Jane PaImer (Scott) and her husband AIan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriously have $60,000 IiteraIIy dropped in their laps. The circumstances seem mighty suspicious to Alan, who wants to turn the money over to the poIice. But in a materiaIistic rapture, Jane won t let it go. She doesn t care where it came from, or what danger might ensue - not if it wilI bring her the luxury she craves. Enter shady Danny FulIer (Duryea, as cocky and menacing as ever), who cIaims the money beIongs to him. Let the games begin! Roy Huggins snappy script (adapted from his novel) is a complex, breezy and black-hearted homage to James M. Cain and Raymond Chandler. Rapacious housewife Jane Palmer is one of the juiciest femaIe vilIains in Hollywood history, and Liz Scott s best roIe ever.
PassionateIy championed by the Film Noir Foundation and newIy transferred from archive elements by UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive, Too Late for Tears is presented on home video for the first time in the UK.
