Time for a Broadway musical of Laura
Simply one of the best noir thrillers ever made. Haunting, one-theme score. It's time for a Broadway musical of Laura.

Outstanding film
This was my late father's absolute favorite film. It is most definitely Gene Tierney's best role. The use of flashback was new at the time and tells the story well. I recommend it highly.

LAURA CONTINUES TO HAUNT FILM NOIR on DVD
Director Otto Preminger's slick and polished film noir, "Laura" (1944) has since become a cornerstone in American cinema. Yet, under its elegant facade of debutantes and high-society fashion is a world of ravenous jealousy, deceptive passions, intriguing... more
Finally Fox unleashes Laura, but with middling results....
LAURA is a very popular and enjoyable drama. I've always considered it somewhat overrated, but it has achieved cult status, I think, mostly due to David Raksin's haunting theme that became a hit song afterward.
Fox's transfer leaves much... more

Swoon
Let's talk about Dana Andrews, one of the most underrated actors in the film noir genre. Why can't we get the movie Fallen Angel here in the US? I had to buy a British copy and set my computer to play it in order to enjoy another fabulous Dana Andrews... more
Best of the Film Noir era
Laura is a well paced, smart movie full of drama, glamour and humour. Gene is stunning as the victim. Dana Andrews is sexy as the detective that falls in love with the muder victim through stories he hears from her friends, family and the man she was... more

Classic film noir with the beautiful Gene Tierney
Ever since I was a kid I've loved everything about this classic: the perfect, & I do mean PERFECT cast (Gene Tierney, Clifton Webb, Dana Andrews, Vincent Price), the unforgettable music by David Raksin, & of course the suspensful climax. I've always thought... more
Revised Release Date
Although toned down from Vera Caspary's novel, "Laura" is a classic example of sexual obssession in 40's film noir. Otto Preminger (with help from Rouben Mamoulian) created a masterpiece of a mystery film loaded with decadence and sexual tension. Tough... more

Five stars for the music alone!
The theme from "Laura" is one of the most haunting ever written, by David Raksin, relatively unknown, but forever memorialized through this melody. Gene Tierney is at her peak of beauty, and she really is breathtaking in the most literal sense of the... more
