Alain E Lizabeth Scott was a femme fatale worth losing your life over and this movie is another example. Although she didn’t have the magnitude of the career she deserved, her revenge was to have a long life. Another prominent person from Scranton, PA.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review nick s There were a few story elements I would have changed but overall this was great. Competently directed and a truly captivating performance from Lizabeth Scott, who really elevated the movie with her natural charisma. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Don B I found this by accident looking for a Burt Lancaster movie so I'm not sure how this came about but it is an absolutely great film with a convoluted plot but you got to love Lizabeth Scott. I finally found someone meaner than my ex-wife. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review paul d In Byron Haskin's Too Late for Tears, Lizabeth Scott has the role of a lifetime as the most fatal of femme fatales, the most seductive of temptresses, and the most cold blooded of criminals, and she is magnificent. Dan Duryea isn't on screen quite as much as Scott, but he also provides a great performance. He's also playing a criminal, as he did often in those year, but here we see a full range on display, from the super tough guy to calculating smoothie to vulnerable fall guy to helpless victim. Arthur Kennedy and Don DeFore are well cast in supporting roles, and Kristine Miller is especially good and believeable in a small but crucIal role, radiating innocence and purity as a counterpoint to what's happening around her. It has a great and intricate story, with a palpable tension right from the first frames, possibly because the "MacGuffin" at the center of these lives and this film was introduced in the opening frames.
