Leave Her to Heaven- You Can't Leave this One ****, 9 October 2006
9/10
Author: edwagreen from United States

Gene Tierney, as a fiery woman, driven absolutely mad by jealousy. The latter leads her to tragedy beyond the human realm of comprehension.

Cornel Wilde plays the man who loved her dearly and suffered for her actions.

Vincent Price is in top form as the prosecuting attorney at her trial.

A terrific performance by Tierney who received a well-deserved Oscar nomination. Apparently, it was her misfortune to run against Joan Crawford that particular year for "Mildred Pierce." The voting here between the two must have been tight at best.

The film has excellent cinematography with vivid images left in the minds of the viewers.
