Laura (Studio Classics)

Out Now

Synopsis

A wealthy acid-tongued journalist (Clifton Webb) becomes entranced with a beautiful young career woman named Laura (Gene Tierney). But entrancement leads to possessiveness and shortly before her wedding to a dashing young playboy (Vincent Price), she is found murdered. Stirred by her portrait and adoring descriptions by her admirers, the detective (Dana Andrews) assigned to her case finds he, too, is strangely under Laura's spell.

With its haunting romantic score by David Raksin, this brilliant, extraordinary, absorbing entertainment from director Otto Preminger is renowned example of 1940s film noir.
