It´s time for day 5 of ‘Noirvember 2022.’ Femme Fatale Jane Palmer (Lizabeth Scott) would do anything for money. We´re talking about $ 60.000, which was a fortune in the 1940s. Her journey to get it is paved with betrayal, hatred and … murder. Let´s take a look at the other characters and my rating of this film noir.
Danny Fuller. The classic Dan Duryea role. Very similar to the characters he played in other noirs such as ‘The Woman in the Window (1944),’ ‘Scarlet Street (1945)’ or ‘Larceny (1948).’
Kathy Palmer (Kristine Miller), the sister of Jane´s husband, is the good girl. She wants to find out what happened to her brother.
Alan Palmer (Arthur Kennedy) should´ve picked another wife. Until death do us part couldn´t be more fitting. You probably know Kennedy as Dr. Quimper from the Agatha Christie film adaptation ‘Murder she said (1961).’
Mysterious Don Blake (Don DeFore) plays the good guy and falls in love with Kathy Palmer.
Rating:
‘Too Late for Tears (1949)’ reached the ‘Breathless Heights‘ on the ‘Rating Mountain:‘
