Leave Her to Heaven (1945)

Directed by John M. Stahl

Even though it's in color, it has a foreboding tone so is often classified as noir.  Full of melodramatics, it's a rather tedious domestic drama.  It's not your dark shadows and gritty toughguys, sort of noir.  A typically lifeless performance by Cornel Wilde.  The color cinematography certainly looks great.
