John M. Stahl - Leave Her to Heaven (1945)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037865  The American family melodrama at its most neurotic. Rich girl Gene Tierney decides that the only way she can corner the affections of her husband (Cornel Wilde) is to eliminate his beloved younger brother, so she drowns the boy in a lake on a beautiful Technicolor day. John Stahl's 1945 film is so lurid that it seems to exist on another plane of reality: it may be absurd, and even risible, but its single-minded concentration has its own kind of fascination and power. The great cinematographer Leon Shamroy shot it, and the artificial brightness of the 40s color adds yet another level of abstraction--the actors seem enameled against the backgrounds. A Noir Film in Technicolor! This is a great and very surprising movie. You expect a nice little sunny story, with the kind Gene Tierney, the romantic Cornel Wilde and the handsome Vincent Price but... don't believe what you see, don't believe what your hear, don't trust the soft and colorful atmosphere… This is a Noir movie, and a Noir Gem 1. Well, there is Gene Tierney. She is not only attractive, cute, gorgeous... she's a real actress. 2. John Malcolm Stahl is a very fine and quite forgotten director nowadays, but he directed and produced many interesting movies in the 40's and 50's. Stahl even won an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1934 for "Imitation of Life" (Douglas Sirk shot a remake in 1959). 3. Add also a brilliant and skilled photography which accentuates the contrast with this dark story. Leon Shamroy, the cinematographer, won with "Leave Her to Heaven" one of his 4 Academy Awards for the best color cinematography in 1946. He was one of the lighting masters in Hollywood. The title is a direct reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet. I quote Queen Gertrud (Hamlet's Mother): "Leave her to heaven, and to those thorns that in her bosom lodge to prick and sting her."    ----------not my rip------- File Size (in bytes) ..........: 1,463,848,960 bytes Runtime ....................: 01:50:00 Video Codec .....................: XviD Frame Size ....................: 640x480 (AR: 1.333) FPS .......................: 23.976 Video Bitrate .................: 1459 kb/s Bits per Pixel ...............: 0.198 bpp B-VOP, N-VOP, QPel, GMC.............: [B-VOP], [], [], [] Audio Codec .....................: 0x0055(MP3, ISO) MPEG-1 Layer 3 Sample Rate .....................: 48000 Hz Audio Bitrate .................: 170 kb/s [2 channel(s)] VBR No. of audio streams ...............: 2 ************************************** Freakyflicks is a free and open community dedicated to preserving and sharing cinematic art in the digital era.
