Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Crappy release from Alpha again
From these reviews it is apparent that Alpha does not care about
putting out quality DVDs.
The worst I have ever seen was "The Hitch Hiker" and this one is not any better.
What a waste of a great movie....I will wait until someone puts out a
quality version of it !!
Rating: - Don't try to take Jane Palmer's deposit slip or you might find yourself crushed like an old cigarette butt
"We were white-collar poor," explains Jane Palmer to her husband, Alan. "Middle class poor. The kind of people who can't quite keep up with the Joneses and die a little every day because they can't." What she's explaining is her desire to keep the $80,000 someone tossed into their convertible by mistake. It was supposed to go to a blackmailer. Alan, an honest guy who loves his wife, wants to go to the police. She doesn't. (Please note: Plot points are discussed.)

Rating: - Good film noir, but Alpha Video version is very shoddy print
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Elizabeth Scott Strikes Out
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Noir....Great Femme Fatale
"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 ... Read More
