A wealthy journalist (Clifton Webb) becomes entranced with a beautiful young career woman named Laura (Gene Tierney).

Summary: One of my favorites!
Comment: I've always loved this movie and it was a real treat to be able to get it on DVD given it's age. The picture quality was great and it even included a scene that was cut from the original release and I don't believe has been included in the television runs.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Verry, Verry Good Film!

If you love Gene Tierney and Classic films watch the Ghost and Mrs. Muere!

Summary: Laura a fantastic movie
Comment: This is how movies should be written today. Drama, intelligence and good acting - even in black and white. This is an older movie, but none the less one of the best made.

Summary: Simply the best!
Comment: An amazing movie and an amazing beauty, Gene Tierney.
All I could think during this movie was what a shame I entertainment has taken such a nose dive since the release of this flick.
No cursing, no nudity, no blood and gore. Just a well written, and well acted movie that relied on talent.
This movie will haunt you.........as will the Johnny Mercer score.
Thank you Gene Tierney. You were just perfect in this!

Summary: One of the best plot twists ever
Comment: "Laura" is a murder mystery which contains one of the best and most surprising plot twists ever. I don't want to go into any more detail about the plot, as it might spoil it for you. I saw this film for the first time, on late night television, about 20 years ago and have seen it numerous times since. I consider it to be among my favourite films of all time. It is not just the plot twists that makes it a great film, but also the characters and the actors who play them: the arrogant and sarcastic Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb), who is one of my family's favourite fictitious characters; and the enigmatic Laura (Gene Tierney) who might not be as nice as she initially appears.
"Laura" is based on a book by Vera Caspary, which I also highly recommend. The movie follows the book reasonably closely, but in a number of ways improves on the book. I see the movie as being a darker version of its source material.
This is one of the lesser known film noir films, but is by no means lesser in quality or entertainment value. I highly recommend this film to any fans of the noir genre or to fans of mysteries in general.
