3 out of 5 stars Good film noir, but Alpha Video version is very shoddy print.......2007-07-22

Beware. There are two (maybe more) versions of this film on DVD. The Alpha Video release of this is a really shoddy print, with video jumps and skips all over the place. There is dialogue for which you only hear the tail end of a number of times; this is really irritating.

The film itself is a solid decent effort; Dan Duryea and Lizabeth Scott are fine, and the standard film noir story of a femme fatale, greed, money, and murder is carried out with aplomb by the two leads, with no thanks/help from Don DeFore as the good guy who is just too goofy to be credible. Arthur Kennedy is OK too, as is Kristine Miller. But naturally, the movie belongs to Duryea and Scott.

From what I understand, the Image print is not too great either. Not sure; haven't seen it. But the Alpha Video print is definitely a must to avoid. The reason I gave this three stars is because the movie itself is, as mentioned, pretty good. Too bad about the lousy print, though.

2 out of 5 stars Elizabeth Scott Strikes Out.......2007-07-07

When Jane (Elizabeth Scott) commandeers her husband's car to avoid a pursuer in "Too Late For Tears" a.k.a "Killer Bait" the unbelievable begins. As she is recklessly driving against an all to visible fake backdrop, she is stubbornly smirking as if to tell the auidence: "I have $60,000 in cash that doesn't belong to me; my pursuer knows this, but I think I'll have fun speeding and weaving anyway. I had not seen this film in about 10 years since viewing it in VHS format. I purchased Questar's 5 DVD package "Killer Classics" and was pleasantly surprised at the crispness and clarity "Too Late For Tears" favors over its VHS predecessor. From a noir perspective "Too Late For Tears" fails in plot construction, a poor script, and a dismal characterization of a femme fatale in the form of Jane (Liz Scott). Visible examples are when Jane switches car seats with her husband (Arthur Kennedy) after eluding their mysterious pursuer and are pulled over by a motorcycle cop. Jane menacingly reaches into the glove compartment for a large black flashlight while the officer writes the traffic ticket. Even her husband says: "What were you going to do with that?" I guess she wanted to shine the bright light into the eyes of the cop to scare him away!! Prior to that when the motorcycle cop turns on his siren, Jane commands her husband: "Don't stop! He his almost a block behind us." Did Jane really think the couple could outrace a motorcycle cop on a busy city street? I realize that the character of Jane is absorbed with the thought of money and how money could change her life, but why did the director and script writer allow for such nonsensical dialogue to be part of a film that could have been a high grade B noir classic. When the money is spilled from the satchel and Jane's carniverous eyes and hands greedily indulge in its lure, the bills are clearly fake. This picture was made in 1949, 10, 20, and 50, dollar bills in no way resembled the prop bills that were used in Too Late For Tears. When Liz shoots her husband point blank in the boat the resulting shot to the chest would have caused massive bleeding and blood splatter to Jane's clothes. But when the boat is returned the worker does not notice the blood in the boat or on Jane's clothes. When Jane drives the car to the beach she throws the murder weapon into the waves, yet later on the gun shows up again. The gun's role is pivotal in directing Kathreen's (Kristine Miller)suspicion about her brother's disappearance to Jane. We also led to believe that Jane gun butts and escapes the apartment. Thankfully the director chose not to film this scene. Finally when Jane realizes that the ticket stub in her husband's coat is blank, she faints?? All of these shortcomings distract what could have been a noir classic if left in the direction of a Fritz Lang or Alfred Hitchcock. Some interesting facets about the film are the use of promotional posters that show actor Dan Duryea slapping Liz Scott. Maybe this is why the film was also released as Killer Bait. According to write Eddie Muller in his fascinating book Dark City, Duryea received truckloads of female fan mail for his abusive behavior on screen. When viewing the DVD in slow motion, it is clear that Duryea's slaps miss the mark. When viewed at regular speed they are quite convincing. If you want to see sultry Lizabeth Scott in the shadows of noir, I recommend: "I Walk Alone", "Pitfall", "Dark City" and "Desert Fury". Arthur Kennedy as Jane's husband Alan Palmer gives the most credible performance in the film.

5 out of 5 stars Good Noir....Great Femme Fatale.......2007-06-29

"Too Late for Tears" opens quickly. A couple parked by the side of a highway, rear lights blinking, have a bag containing $50G tossed into their car. Hubby Arthur Kennedy smells trouble and wants to hand over the loot to the cops. Wifey Lizabeth Scott is fiercely determined to keep it. The viewer would expect someone to come calling about the $$. Sure enough, crooked PI Dan Duryea is hot on the trail. DD was in on an insurance scam and the $50G was his cut. The blinking car lights were a signal for him! Scott has to contend with AK who wants no part of the money and DD who wants "his" loot. LS' steely and increasingly bold gambits to placate AK and DD -while keeping the $$-are the force behind TLT. No man is going to stop this brazen female! LS often plays the good girl/bad girl but not in TLT. She is all bad here, no holds barred. This reviewer is an LS fan; he was rooting for her against the guys! Fine plot twists are added by a suspicious neighbor (Kristine Miller) and AKs ubiquitous old Army buddy (Dom De Fiore). Those two make a nice pair as their doubts about LS grow, especially after Kennedy disappears! What happens? Good reviews don't give away endings, so viewers will just have to watch. Those who do will not be disappointed. This observer has never understood those who complain about DVD transfers-until now. My DVD had sound problems plus a few nighttime scenes were too dark-even for a noir release. TLT is still recommended to serious noir fans-plus it has Lizabeth Scott in her prime! TLT does a noticeably good job of tying up loose plot ends, a point many crime films ignore. What's not to like? Even though the opening and the fadeout are somewhat forced, noir fans have a safe choice with "Too Late for Tears".

5 out of 5 stars Too Late for Tears.......2007-06-25

Haskin's clever, intriguing noir thriller concerns murder, betrayal, and cruel twists of fate. Scott sizzles as the shrewish, manipulative wife who sees the stolen loot as her ticket to easy street; unfortunately, Kennedy's upstanding Alan doesn't see eye to eye with her, and pays the price. Under Haskin's taut direction, B-movie veteran Duryea holds his own against Scott's cold-blooded femme fatale, at least until she reduces the hard-boiled crook to a blubbering mess of manhood. "Too Late for Tears" is a sharp, cynical tale of unrepentant avarice.

5 out of 5 stars Liz Scott So Tough She Shocks Duryea.......2007-02-12

Liz Scott was the glamorous blonde in Hal Wallis' Paramount Studios stable. Here in a low budget quickie "Too Late for Tears" she tries her hand as a femme fatale and is so impressive she belongs in the ranks of Jane Greer, Barbara Stanwyck and Claire Trevor, the triumvirate of film noir tough gals from "Out of the Past", "Double Indemnity" and "Murder, My Sweet" respectively.

The film was released in 1949, the same year that low budget film noir giant "D.O.A." came out. "D.O.A." featured an existentially tragic victim in Edmond O'Brien while "Too Late for Tears" features numerous victims, all at the behest of Scott, whose blonde beauty is ice cold and her penchant for riches inexhaustible and uncomplicated by even a tinge of morality. Scott reflects the amorality of the grand femme fatale triumvirate of Greer, Stanwyck and Trevor.

The film's initial clash occurs after Scott, along with husband Arthur Kennedy, come into possession of $60,000. Honest Kennedy wants to hand the money over to police, but Scott has other ideas.

Kennedy's hunch that the large sum of money relates to some type of criminal enterprise is proven valid when legendary screen tough guy Dan Duryea comes calling at her apartment. When Duryea uses some brute force in the beginning Scott, instead of forcing the issue, shrewdly gives him the impression that he is in charge and ultimately agrees to a partnership with him.

The daring of Scott prompts tough guy Duryea to melt. He ultimately wants out of the association, but by then it is too late. Duryea is reminiscent of Fred MacMurray in "Double Indemnity" in the way that he becomes shocked at the savage ruthlessness of Barbara Stanwyck, his partner in crime.

The wild card in the picture is Don Defore. A veteran character performer, Defore was known primarily for comedy rather than film noir, becoming famous as a regular on two comedy television sitcoms, "Ozzie and Harriett" and "Hazel."

Defore shows up unexpectedly and surprises Scott. While he tells her that he is a former World War Two service buddy of Arthur Kennedy's, a wily Scott does not believe him and wonders just who he is and why he has entered her life. Defore's identity factors into his motivation for pursuing Scott while explaining his determination to break open a case that she attempts to hermetically shut.

Byron Haskin directed. He is best known for the science fiction hit "The War of the Worlds." He later became involved in science fiction on television as a regular director of episodes of the sixties' series "The Outer Limits."

The rapidly paced script was written by Roy Huggins, who later created the television detective hit "The Rockford Files" starring James Garner.

2 out of 5 stars Not the greatest................2004-06-29

This disc is OK if you really don't care about quality. The prints they used show alot of wear. For "HE WALKED BY NIGHT", i would suggest you buy the disc put out by MGM. The print they used here for "TOO LATE FOR TEARS" looks like the same one that Image Entertainment used. It has several splices and scratches. TOO LATE FOR TEARS was also released under the title "KILLER BAIT" which is available in a better quality print in a 6 disc set called "5 Killer Film Noir Classics". As for "KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL", if i remember right the disc put out by Image is of better quality. (This review is for the "Film Noir Triple Feature Vol. 1" disc put out by Goodtimes Video")
