British tennis pro Ray Milland suspects that his wealthy wife Grace Kelly is fooling around with handsome American Robert Cummings. Milland blackmails a disgraced former army comrade (Anthony Dawson) into murdering Kelly and making it look like the work of a burglar. But Milland’s carefully mapped-out scheme does not take into account the notion that Kelly might fight back and kill her assailant. When the police (represented by John Williams) investigate, Milland improvises quickly, subtly planting the suggestion that his wife has committed first-degree murder. He almost gets away with it; to tell you more would spoil the fun of the film’s final thirty minutes. Based on the popular mystery play by Federick Knott, Hitchcock perversely refused to throw in the standard in-your-face gimmickry of most stereoscopic films of the era. Source: Rialto Cerrito

Director Terrence Malick’s “Days of Heaven” (1978) is a visually stunning evocation of love and murder, set timelessly on a screen as big and beautiful as America’s plains.

Richard Gere plays a steelworker who flees from the law to the Texas plains, where he, his girlfriend (played by Brooke Adams), and his young sister Linda find refuge as laborers on what seems like an earthly paradise, working for the owner, played by Sam Shepard.

However, primal emotions and forces of nature arrive with a vengeance.

Malick’s cinematic storytelling  in “Days of Heaven” took home the Oscar  for cinematography.

Audiences who are thrilled by Malick’s current masterpiece “The Tree of Life” will see a similar scope and ambition in this earlier movie, “Days of Heaven.”
