Editorial Reviews

Gene Tierney portrays a beautiful but unstable woman who marries successful novelist Cornel Wilde. Tierney wants to spend all her time with her new husband, but finds it impossible to do so thanks to his work and the frequent visits of family and friends. When Wilde's crippled younger brother (Darryl Hickman) comes to the couple's summer house to stay, Ms. Tierney indirectly causes the boy to drown. Later, upon discovering that she's pregnant, Tierney deliberately falls down the stairs, choosing to miscarry rather than share her husband's affections with an infant. When it becomes clear that family friend Jeanne Crain is attracted to her husband, Ms. Tierney commits suicide, making her death appear to be murder and framing Crain for the "crime." In court, Ms. Crain is mercilessly grilled by prosecuting attorney Vincent Price, who happens to be Tierney's ex-lover! Filmed in lush Technicolor, Leave Her to Heaven is based on the best-selling novel by Ben Ames Williams. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

June 12, 2007: This technicolor masterpiece is one that should not be missed. While the subject of insane jealousy is not a new one, the story carries you along and yet you are totally surprised by the ending. The beautiful Miss Tierney is breathtaking as is Half Moon Bay.

February 07, 2004: Leave Her To Heaven is one of my favorite all time movies. Gene Tierney plays a beautiful and unstable woman who will do anything to keep Cornel Wilde's affection all to herself. The film has beautiful stars, Vincent Price playing Gene Tierney's ex-fiancee and the very pretty and very young Jeanne Crain. The sets are also beautiful and the photography is superb.
