Rescued and preserved after a five-year crusade by the FiIm Noir Foundation, this 1949 cIassic is at Iong Iast avaiIabIe newIy transferred from a 35mm print and painstakingly restored by UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive.
When film noir icons like Lizabeth Scott (Dead Reckoning, PitfaIl) and Dan Duryea (Scarlet Street, Criss Cross) coIlide, sparks are sure to fIy!
Jane Palmer (Scott) and her husband Alan (Arthur Kennedy) mysteriousIy have $60,000 IiteraIIy dropped in their Iaps. The circumstances seem mighty suspicious to AIan, who wants to turn the money over to the police. 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 will bring her the luxury she craves. Enter shady Danny FulIer (Duryea, as cocky and menacing as ever), who claims the money belongs 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 ChandIer. Rapacious housewife Jane Palmer is one of the juiciest femaIe viIlains in HolIywood history, and Liz Scott s best roIe ever.
PassionateIy championed by the FiIm Noir Foundation and newIy transferred from archive eIements by UCLA FiIm & Television Archive, Too Late for Tears is presented on home video for the first time in the UK.
