Jealously has never been portrayed with such venom as shown by Gene Tierney in this movie This is an amazing film even though it's not a great movie. Why? Two reasons. Tierney, one of the most beautiful women ever to appear in film, is beyond reproach in this film and deservedly received the only Oscar nomination of her career. Amd two, the lurid techicolor, particularly in the first part of the film set in New Mexico, simply takes the breath away. The cinematographer Leon Shamroy created a work of supreme art and his Oscar-winning work (he won four Oscars in all) is the most glowing Technicolor you will ever see on film. The story itself is at best melodramatic tosh but, hell, you can't take your eyes off it. Tierney, with her ethereal beauty that cannot possibly be of this world, dumps the hammy Vincent Price for the dull and weirdly handsome author Cornel Wilde, and lets her pretty foster sister Jeanne Crain and Wilde take the blame for murder. The film will stay in your head long afer you have seen it. It's almost surreal other-worldness will leave an indelible mark in your mind and the dream-like slowness of its process will lead you back, again and again, to the face of Gene Tierney. For it is her movie and Shamroy's too.
