Viewing Notes

This Otto Preminger classic noir from the 1940s has an excellent cast. The gorgeous Gene Tierney stars as the titular character who all the drama is centered upon; Dana Andrews nails it as the detective investigating her murder.

Laura also features a young, handsome Vincent Price, whose character literally towers over the other actors! He’s a good head taller than anyone on the set.

As noirs go, this one is on the lighter side with plenty of biting humor to take the edge off. It’s no Maltese Falcon or Blue Dahlia, but definitely holds its own. Well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
