Yikes, talk about an internecine plot! This is certainly a story that requires concentration as the machinations of "Ellen" (Gene Tierney) take their toll on just about everyone around her. She meets the young writer "Richard" (Cornel Wilde) on a train when he encounters this enigmatic young woman who happens to be reading his latest novel.

_Leave Her to Heaven_ is, without a doubt, the least exciting and fun noir I've watched this Noirvember so far. In a genre that typically brims with tension and intrigue, this film feels practically void of pulse – almost like it's trying to lull you to sleep instead of keeping you on edge. Not sure what's more disappointing: the absence of thrills or the flat, listless atmosphere!
