(USA, 1945) by John M. Stahl, starring Gene Tierney, Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain, color, duration: 110 min., DCP original version with Italian subtitles
Obsessed with jealousy towards her husband, the beautiful and sensual Ellen will stop at nothing to have him all to herself, even going as far as murder. A cult classic between melodrama and noir, it remains one of the most shocking portrayals of a femme fatale in Hollywood history, with a sensational Gene Tierney. Leon Shamroy's flamboyant cinematography is memorable, veering towards an anti-realistic use of color that was well ahead of its time.
