Description: Laura (1944) is a classic film noir directed by Otto Preminger, based on the novel by Vera Caspary. This stylish mystery is celebrated for its sophisticated plot, atmospheric cinematography, and memorable score. The film stars Gene Tierney as Laura Hunt, Dana Andrews as Detective Mark McPherson, Clifton Webb as Waldo Lydecker, and Vincent Price as Shelby Carpenter.The story follows Detective McPherson as he investigates the murder of Laura, a beautiful and successful advertising executive. As he interviews those closest to her, he becomes increasingly fascinated—and possibly obsessed—with Laura's portrait and the life she led. Laura’s mentor, the flamboyant and cynical columnist Waldo Lydecker, and her handsome but shiftless fiancé Shelby Carpenter, are among the prime suspects. As McPherson dives deeper, the story takes unexpected twists, challenging perceptions of loyalty, love, and obsession.One of the film's most iconic elements is its haunting score, composed by David Raksin. The Laura theme became so popular that it evolved into a jazz standard, covered by numerous artists. The film’s elegant cinematography, directed by Joseph LaShelle, won an Academy Award, and the screenplay’s clever dialogue has made it one of the best examples of film noir.Condition: Our DVDs are from our personal collection from over the years and are in very good to like new condition.
