She was VERY good in REPEAT PERFORMANCE (1947) a film I watch every year around New Year's.

I never saw REPEAT PERFORMANCE. The summary on IMDB sounds intriguing. I would also recommend THE HARD WAY. Leslie is very good; Ida Lupino, playing Leslie's sister, got the New York Film Critics Best Actress award.
