This film will satisfy those film noir cravings you’ve been having. It’s got intrigue and dames and cigarettes and rocks glasses. Everything-cinematography, acting, sets, dialog, direction-is top notch. As a bonus, you get to see Vincent Price as a strikingly handsome young man with a southern drawl.

this is a well done film, circling around finding a killer, weaving up surprises and turning over new ideas constantly.

Laura is a classic film noir that explores many of the themes of the genre without having a lot of the distinctive look. Noir is a state of mind, and Laura is a lot of fun with witty, rapid-fire dialogue and quirky characters. It’s filled with interesting twists as we find out more about the woman who is murdered and realize that we know less and less. A good film to see to see more of the subtle characteristics of film noir.
