Too Late For Tears - Movie Review

One night on a lonely highway, a speeding car tosses a satchel of money, meant for somebody else, into Jane and Alan Palmer's back seat. Alan wants to turn it over to the police, but Jane, with luxury within her reach, persuades him to hang onto it "for a while." Soon, the Palmers are traced by one Danny Fuller, a sleazy character who claims the money is his. To hang onto it, Jane will need all the qualities of an ultimate femme fatale...and does she ever have them!

Alan Palmer (Kennedy) accidentally gets a hold of $60,000 in stolen cash. His plotting wife Jane (Scott), one of the great movie femme fatales, insists that they keep the money instead of going to the police. A drunken private detective (Duryea) becomes wise to the plan and tries to take the money from them. Jane works out a deal to split the money with the P.I. Then, realizing that her husband can't be trusted, Jane murders him on a romantic lake boat ride with the help of the detective. When she reports her husband missing, the plot thickens as the brother of Jane's ex-husband, who also died mysteriously, shows up. He's working with Alan's sister Kathy who is growing more suspicious of Jane's shaky story. Jane eventually escapes to Mexico but is tracked down by the snooping pair.
