Leave Her To Heaven

E:
A little back story as to how we ended up with this in our Netflix queue:
I've always been a big fan of the film noir genre (as I've mentioned before). This past summer, G & I watched Laura, a bona-fide film noir classic (great, great film - see my June 8 rebiew). After the film, we watched a documentary about the life of star Gene Tierney. Amongst the craziness of her CRAZY life, they mentioned this film Leave Her To Heaven. It got her an Oscar nomination (always ear catching), so we added it.
And good thing we did.
Another juicy old film in that classic Douglas Sirk melodrama mold. Directed by John Stahl, who also directed the original Magnificent Obsession in the 30's (not the Rock Hudson version), and Imitation of Life (G owns that one!), it's about two people who meet on a train and fall in love. Turns out she's not what he thinks she is, not in the least.
And that's all you're getting out of me as far as the plot.
Gene puts on a great show - turning from one person into another on a dime. Everyone else just has to stand back and watch her.
Definitely a fun one to watch.
