This adaptation of Vera Caspary's suspense novel was begun by director Rouben Mamoulien and cinematographer Lucien Ballard, but thanks to a complex series of backstage intrigues and hostilities, the film was ultimately credited to director Otto Preminger and cameraman Joseph LaShelle (who won an Oscar for his efforts). At the outset of the film, it is established that the title character, Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney), has been murdered. Tough New York detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) investigates the killing, methodically questioning the chief suspects: Waspish columnist Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb), wastrel socialite Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price), and Carpenter's wealthy "patroness" Ann Treadwell (Judith Anderson). The deeper he gets into the case, the more fascinated he becomes by the enigmatic Laura, literally falling in love with the girl's painted portrait. As he sits in Laura's apartment, ruminating over the case and his own obsessions, the door opens, the lights switch on, and in walks Laura Hunt, very much alive! To tell any more would rob the reader of the sheer enjoyment of watching this stylish film noir unfold on screen. Everything clicks in Laura, from the superbly bitchy peformance of Clifton Webb (a veteran Broadway star who became an overnight movie favorite with this film) to the haunting musical score by David Raskin. Long available only in the 85-minute TV version Laura has since been restored to its original 88-minute running time. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Review For Laura

Few movies make you feel dirtier, and so perversely grateful for the pleasure.
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York

A highly polished and debonair whodunit.
-TIME Magazine

Less a crime film than a study in levels of obsession, Laura is one of those classic works that leave their subject matter behind and live on the strength of their seductive style.
Dave Kehr-Chicago Reader

A hypnotic and deathlessly interpretable experience.
Michael Atkinson-Village Voice

Gene Tierney makes an appealing figure as the art executive and Vincent Price is convincing as a weak-willed ne'er-do-well.
Variety Staff-Variety

The plot is deliberately perfunctory, the people deliciously perverse, and the mise-en-scène radical.
-Time Out

Preminger deals in facades, with how perception cheats us, right down to the ideal image of Laura as a portrait. (Cinémathèque Annotations on Film)
Matthew Sorrento-Senses of Cinema

Masterpiece: with time, Preminger's second film has become richer in texture and deeper, more ambiguous in meaning than most noirs of the 1940s.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com

Preminger made darker, more characteristically noir films than this, but his only movie that's as good, or perhaps better, is Anatomy of a Murder.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

Will leave you drunk with delight.
-This is London

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.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express

Laura is still every bit as gripping in 2012.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

A thrilling, absorbing and original example of the genre; it's also beautifully shot, pure escapist entertainment.
Sarah Cronin-Electric Sheep

Not only one of Preminger's greatest, but one of the great noirs.
Matthew Thrift-Little White Lies

OK, the plot verges on absurdity - but who cares?
Philip Kemp-Total Film

This interesting film noir has more working for its final half than in its first.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight

Expertly paced, gripping, and dripping with sensuality, Otto Preminger's Laura has hardly aged a day.
Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt

O roteiro é, na melhor das hipóteses, medíocre, mas a direção sombria de Preminger, a música-tema e as atuações de Webb e Price transformam este filme em um marco importante do nascente noir.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena

Great suspense.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

It is the sleekest of murder mysteries, and ahead of its time -- not least in having a gay suitor for Laura, and possibly two.
