Laura
Otto Preminger / US, 1944 / 88 min.
This film made actress Gene Tierney a star and Dave Raksin’s theme music a jazz standard. Laura, written and produced by Otto Preminger, is above all a mystery, the Twin Peaks of film noir.
Detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) is fascinated by the woman whose mysterious death he is investigating. Who stood to gain from her death? Her mentor, her slimy suitor, the housekeeper? The only things he discovers is that the woman, Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney), was universally loved. In the meantime, Mark’s obsession deepens.
