About the film “All those who derogate the word ‘psychological’ as applied to the modern movie of crime will find in ‘Leave Her to Heaven,’ at long last, a picture that sensationally and completely fills the bill. Gene Tierney, in fact, has a role to play that is veritably psychopathic in its violence, yet so solidly motivated that you view her as a thoroughly poisonous heroine. She is the hopeless victim of a selfishness so consuming that when it manifests itself in love, she sacrifices everything for possession, and for vengeance when she cannot possess.” —Edwin Schallert, The Los Angeles Times, December 29, 1945

“The film has some moments of mounting suspense, inasmuch as John Stahl has given it capable direction for the most part, and the color is lovely to look at, with magnificent outdoor shots and attractive interiors. In fact, the stunning sets are likely to distract your attention from the story, and it’s almost too pretty for the subject matter.” —Mae Tinee, The Chicago Daily Tribune, December 31, 1945
