Nominated for five academy awards, this stylish mystery thriller twists and turns with new suspects, new evidence, and unexpected revelations. A wealthy journalist (CLIFFTON WEBB) becomes entranced with a beautiful career woman named Laura (GENE TIERNEY). But shortly before her wedding to a dashing young playboy (VINCENT PRICE), she is found murdered. Stirred by her portrait, the detective (DANA ANDREWS) assigned to her case finds that he, too, is strangely under Laura's spell. With a haunting, romantic score by David Raksin, this "brilliant...extraordinary...absorbing entertainment" (Hollywood Reporter) from Director Otto Preminger is a renowned example of 1940's film noir.
