Laura

Average rating: Stars

One of the best films of the forties

"Laura" is a beautifully crafted film...it is very "tight" and there is not one wasted scene or wasted line of dialogue. The actors/actresses give perfectly modulated performances. The entire production exudes elegance and style. Gene Tierney's portrait as "Laura" must be one of the most beautiful renderings of a female in existence...interestingly, this portrait was actually an enlarged photograph of Tierney, with appropriate touches of paint to give it the look of mystery Preminger wanted, and the result was truly memorable. David Raskin's musical score is unforgettable. Gene Tierney played her role to perfection, and the same can be said for the other cast members as well. Judith Anderson's brief scene with Tierney is magnificent. Dana Andrews was perfect for his role. Clifton Webb was a highly underrated actor, but he made his role in this film completely believeable.

A marvelous film.

Great Surprise Drama

This is a very solid drama with excellent performances by all the main leads. The restoration process of this classic is outstanding; compare it with the original trailer. It contains a slice of twisting drama,direction changes and a love story that will grab you from behind.

Laura -- truly a classic

Having first seen this film about 40 years ago, I was curious whether I would find it as absorbing today. I needn't have worried. The talented actors, beautiful cinematography, wit, and glamour -- everything I remembered still shines through. Along with "The Best Years of our Lives", "Laura" gives us Dana Andrews' at his best. Clifton Webb is deliciously petulant, and Gene Tierney is simply radiant. This film is a guaranteed trip down "Classic" lane.
