Movie Reviews of Laura
Movie Review: Basic Noir
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like films noirs, you'll probably like this. It has all of the standard features--guys who wear big hats and their pants high, cops who call women "dolls" and "broads" and lots of cigarette smoking. I like all that and love New York so I find this entertaining. The plot is pretty good, the cast is excellent and then there's the enduring theme song.
I found it better than many others of this genre but not as good as others. I think it is an enjoyable period piece but it's not going to keep you awake at night thinking about it.
Summary of Laura
[NON-U.S. FORMAT (PAL) Region 2 U.K. Import - This will not play on U.S./Canada DVD players or those from most other countries outside of Europe. You would need a "multi-region" or "region-free" PAL compatible DVD player or computer.] SYNOPSIS: A classic noirish mystery with a consummate ensemble of actors. Dana Andrews adroitly plays the detective who delves into the murder of the stunningly beautiful Laura, with whom it seems everyone, including the detective himself, is in love. But Webb steals the show as the titular ingenue's creepily elegant social mentor, Waldo Lydecker. Based on the novel by Vera Caspary. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Director. Academy Awards: Best (Black-and-White) Cinematography.Similar DVD Movies
