Laura film review

ALMOST 70 years after its initial release Laura retains the style and wit of a film noir classic.

Dana Andrews is the New York detective investigating the murder of high society beauty Laura (Gene Tierney), a woman who seems to have beguiled every man she ever met.

There is no shortage of suspects including smarmy Southern playboy Vincent Price and waspish columnist Clifton Webb. The dialogue is stinging and the performances to be savoured in a haunting study of romantic obsession that deserves its return to the big screen.
