Wissenswertes
The UCLA Film and Television Archive has remastered Der blonde Tiger (1949) from a recently discovered original print. The restoration process took five years after the print was discovered in France, and involved piecing segments of another copy into the restored version to have a complete film. The restoration was funded by the Film Noir Foundation. The restored version was broadcast on 7/17/2015, on the Turner Classic Movies network in pristine condition. The restored version of the film was released in 2016 on Blu-ray in the United States and the United Kingdom. The film has developed a cult following in the years since its release.

Patzer
Jane tells Alan that the $790 she has spent represents about one tenth of a percent of the money in the satchel. Since they thought they had $100,000 (later determined by Danny the blackmailer to be $60,000). One tenth of a percent of 100,000 would be $100, so she spent closer to eight tenths of a percent of what she thought they had. A tenth of a percent of $60,000 would be $60, and $790 would be slightly over 1.3 per cent of that amount. So, in any case, the screenwriter was bad at math.

good noir, good cast

Lizabeth Scott sinks her teeth into the role of a ruthless woman in "Too Late for Tears," also known as "Killer Bait," a 1949 film directed by Byron Haskin and written by a man who later became a very popular TV writer-director and creator of some top series, Roy Huggins.

The film also stars Dan Duryea, Don DeFore, and Arthur Kennedy.

Scott plays Jane Palmer, the wife of Alan Palmer (Kennedy) - while driving one night, someone from another car throws a satchel into their car. It turns out to be $60,000 (the equivalent of $598,000 today). Alan doesn't want anything to do with it, preferring to take it to the police, but Jane wants to keep it and spend it. Finally she convinces him to hide the money and wait for a time.

Jane, it turns out, is one tough cookie, and without giving much away, let's say that getting her hands on that money becomes her full time job, and she's determined that nothing and no one will stand in her way. Unfortunately for a few people, they stood in her way.

Really terrific noir set in Hollywood, with Dan Duryea playing a sleaze, but actually less of a sleaze than Jane - he's more of an opportunist than evil; Don Defore is friendly and unassuming as a friend of Alan Palmer's, and Arthur Kennedy, one of the finest actors in film, is just plain wasted. Perhaps this was a film he had to do in order to fulfill a contract, or it was a loanout on trade - it was a waste.

It's Scott's film, and with her husky voice, lovely smile and pouty lips, she's able to, at first anyway, hide a core of steel underneath.

Very good. If you're a fan of film noir, see this one.
