This gal has a thing for her dad
In love, she obsesses a tad
She's likely to slay
what gets in her way
but Gene isn't evil, she's mad
Watch Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven
(John M. Stahl, 1945) and you'll find that one of the
greatest noir melodramas is in screaming Technicolor.

Have to see this film. That shot in looking down the stairs is tremendous.

It is a truly unique film. The perfectly calibrated over-the-top melodramatics of women's picture maestro John Stahl meet the screaming freudian forties script and the stylized technicolor mastery of Leon Shamroy. Try and see it on screen, not tv. It is worth the effort.
