Description:Classic film noir doesn't get much darker than this sordid tale of betrayal, blackmail, intimidation and murder. Nor are you likely to find a more impressive cast in a noir feature than the one assembled here, and available here for the first time ever in High Definition Blu-ray. Martha Ivers (Barbara Stanwyck) is an heiress-turned-successful businesswoman. Sadly, she's spent much of her life bearing the burden of a horrific childhood event involving the rich, domineering aunt (Judith Anderson) who raised her, while subsequently enduring an unhappy marriage to Walter (Kirk Douglas), the local District Attorney. But everything could change for this power couple when her childhood sweetheart Sam (Van Heflin), now a drifter, shows up back in town one fateful night alongside new girlfriend Toni (Lizabeth Scott). Uncharacteristic for the noir genre, which typically featured B-movie production and B-level casts, the Strange Love of Martha Ivers was a comfortably-financed project with an adept collection of actors and an established director (but none the lighter on plot or cinematography). It is also the first-ever film role for actor Kirk Douglas. He was recommended for the job by none other than Lauren Bacall (who he knew from acting school) and delivers an intriguing performance as the sorry husband. Director Lewis Milestone, meanwhile, was no stranger to award-winning work, having previously won Oscars for Two Arabian Knights (1927) and All Quiet on the Western Front (1930). He would also go on to direct the original Oceans Eleven (1960). Film buffs will also want to keep an eye out for an un-credited cameo by a young Blake Edwards, who appears as a sailor hitching a ride with Sam!
"Strange Love of Martha Ivers" is a classic 1946 film noir drama now available in high-definition Blu-Ray format from HD Cinema Classics. This gripping tale revolves around the complex relationships and dark secrets binding three childhood friends?Martha, Sam, and Walter?in a web of ambition, love, and betrayal. The Blu-Ray edition offers restored visuals and enhanced audio for an immersive viewing experience that brings this timeless story to life for modern audiences. HD Cinema Classics is renowned for its dedication to preserving cinematic history by restoring iconic films with meticulous attention to detail. Their releases are celebrated among collectors and cinephiles alike for their quality transfers, insightful bonus features, and commitment to keeping classic cinema accessible. The film stars Barbara Stanwyck as the enigmatic Martha Ivers?a role that showcases her legendary talent seen in classics like "Double Indemnity" (1944) and "Stella Dallas" (1937). Kirk Douglas makes his remarkable screen debut as Walter O?Neil; he would go on to become one of Hollywood?s most enduring leading men with acclaimed performances in "Spartacus," "Paths of Glory," and more. Van Heflin delivers a compelling performance as Sam Masterson; Heflin previously won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in "Johnny Eager." Directed by Lewis Milestone?an Oscar-winning filmmaker known for masterpieces such as "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930)?the movie also features Lizabeth Scott, whose sultry presence graced many notable noirs including "Dead Reckoning." Together, these talents create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
