Gene

La belle dame sans merci as por­trayed by Gene Tierney in Leave Her To Heaven, John Stahl, 1946. Posted largely because I don’t want that Trash Humpers image below to be the first wretched thing you see upon enter­ing this site. And maybe for oth­er reas­ons, too, but none that I can artic­u­late at the moment.

    For some reas­on this still brings (a youth­ful) Frances McDormand to mind.

    I don’t know; is there any real need for jus­ti­fy­ing put­ting a pic­ture of Gene Tierney up besides the obvi­ous? Plus, of course, LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN is a great movie.

    I remem­ber think­ing she was pretty mean in that film.

    My favor­ite scene! She’s about to throw her­self down that stair­case to get rid of that pesky inter­loper grow­ing in her tummy, the one her hus­band seems to care about more than the fact that she’s on bedrest. Ross Douthat would NOT approve.

    I have to admit that I, too, have some trouble sym­path­iz­ing with Cornel Wilde in this film, mainly because his nov­els sound bor­ing as crap.

    How about because it’s a photo of one of the most beau­ti­ful act­resses ever in a film so beau­ti­ful pho­to­graphed that each frame looks handpainted.

    Saw this film recently and I agree with Charlie R. One of the most beau­ti­fully pho­to­graphed films. I was espe­cially fond of the scenes inside and around the won­der­ful hacienda, beau­ti­ful col­or. And who can res­ist that crazy odd scene where she’s gal­lop­ing around on the horse and dis­pos­ing of her dear old dad’s ashes up on the moun­tain top?
