Four-Star Films : ‘Laura’
One more superb film noir mystery from 1944 starring Dana Andrews (pictured) as a detective who, while investigating a murder, falls in love with the portrait of the dead woman (Gene Tierney), then discovers she wasn’t killed. Clifton Webb is a standout as a cynical columnist, also in love with Tierney. Vincent Price also stars.
