Movie Reviews of Laura [Region 2]

Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars

The Bottom Line:

Though the murder mystery aspects of Laura don't work at all (I love when the cop finds a gun and then leaves it at the scene...just 'cause), the cast of characters (led by a wonderful Clifton Webb) are so interesting that Laura is worth recommending despite its flaws.

Summary of Laura [Region 2]

This silky smooth film noir pits gruff police detective Dana Andrews, stiff and blunt in his street-bred manners, against a cultured columnist and acidic wit (Clifton Webb at his prissiest) in a battle of wits during a murder investigation. The cop is a romantic hiding under a hard-boiled exterior who falls in love with the beautiful victim through the portrait that hangs in her apartment. Gene Tierney, whose heart-shaped face mixes the exotic with the girl next door, brings the poise and calm of a model to her role as the object of every man's gaze and the target of a killer. Laura, handsomely shot in dreamy black and white, is the first and best of Otto Preminger's cool, controlled murder mysteries. In the gritty world of film noir it remains the most refined and elegant example of the genre, but under the tasteful decor and high-society fashions lies a world seething in jealousy, passion, blackmail, and murder. Vincent Price costars as a blithe gigolo and David Raksin's lush theme has become a wistful romantic standard. --Sean Axmaker
