Too Late For Tears
Movie Information
Perhaps better known for his work in science fiction, including the 1953 War of the Worlds and 1964 cult classic Robinson Crusoe on Mars, director Byron Haskins was also responsible for 1949’s Too Late for Tears. This often overlooked film noir may not have the name recognition of something like Double Indemnity or Out of the Past, but what it lacks in notoriety, it more than makes up for with an exemplary performance from Lizbeth Scott as the femme fatale. It may not be the most stylish or well executed noir out there, but it’s definitely worth a look. It also boasts a great alternate title, Killer Bait, under which it was rereleased in 1955. The Hendersonville Film Society will show Too Late for Tears Sunday, July 17, at 2 p.m. in the Smoky Mountain Theater at Lake Pointe Landing Retirement Community, 333 Thompson St., Hendersonville.
