Some films are special, different, transcendent; watching them, you are aware that they are in a different class entirely. Your are engrossed, spellbound, and your narrative disbelief is utterly suspended--"Laura" is one of these films. If your tastes turn to Noir, you will not be disappointed.

Definitely a must see film. More than once. Great plot.

4.0 stars; One of the top-rated film noir movies of the 40s. This is the third time I've watched it, and each time I pick up something new. A well-done, well-acted movie in any genre. I especially like the dialogue... an excellent screenplay. Over and above all the accolades above, it was a pretty darn good mystery in its own right.

This is a very well written mystery. Lots of the colourful characters have motives, but none feel contrived. I think it's a very difficult thing to pull off. Great cinematography and sharp dialogue.

Mysterious and brilliant. Some scenes can be monotonous but that doesn't affect the final result other than those scenes being potentially forgettable.

I've seen this movie bedore and it's on 온라인카지노추천 right now. I can't remember it though.

one of the best noir films ever!

PERFECTION from beginning to the end! The plot is stunningly gripping and keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire duration. The characters are all well-written and acted. This is a must-watch classic for all fans of noir and "whodunits"!

Classic film noir with great plot & acting. Try to guess who is the murderer!

Gene Tierney was mysterious in every role she ever played , and that aspect is well suited here. The murder mystery plot is interesting and the theme song is one of the all time greats.

An All Time Classic. The acting is really good. This is very dialogue heavy but well done dialogue nonetheless. Everyone can come across a bit robotic but still well done, that is until Tierney shows up. She is phenomenal in this, I just wish she was in it more. The cinematography is phenomenal with excellent camerawork and great shadow usage. the music is extremely well done also with great remixes throughout of the title track that is very catchy. The editing is excellent and the pacing is very good. The only knock is during the times we don't focus on Laura it can be a bit robotic and dry at times especially if there is no music. But the story is really clever and keeps you guessing the whole way and never drags in terms of pointless scenes. This is something everyone should see once for sure.

Flawlessly constructed, Preminger directing the glorious Gene Tierney, Clifton Webb's star-making Oscar-nominated film debut, Judith Anderson and Vincent Price as an odd couple, oh and that song.

This is quite a pleasant watch with interesting characters. I like how characters try to read one another, to get the better of them. There are one or two twists and its a good watch.

As a mystery film, "Laura" does pretty well, particularly after the midpoint twist, in the sense that the guilty party is anyone's guess, something that surely keeps the proceedings interesting. Nevertheless, as so often happens, the chase is better than the catch; the mystery might have been intriguing, but it's not great, as evidenced by the mundane payoff. As a romantic drama, "Laura" lacks the patient character-building that would keep it from turning into an ordinary, unrealistic melodrama.

Laura, an adaptation of Vera Caspary's suspense novel, the film Laura had many issues in development including the ultimate replacement of director Rouben Mamoulien and cinematographer Lucien Ballard with Otto Preminger given director credit and Joseph LaShelle for cinematographer. The film plays like a murder mystery film but has many twists and turns and is one of the great achievements in the film-noir genre. Although the film only has a handful of characters, all of which are potential suspects, it utilizes a unique script to keep the viewer guessing and never complacent in their suspicions. I won't ruin the film's story or character details but this is something that must be watched to be truly appreciated and analyzed. The use of lighting and the usual trademarks of film-noir are here as well as the haunting score and the film remains an intriguing and psychologically complex film, even now 70 years later after it's initial release. The recent Blu-ray release restores the film's original 87 minute running time which had been cut to 84 minutes for television. If you like film-noir or simply a great and complex mystery film with equally complex characters and wonderfully dark and moody atmosphere, Laura is one of the finest released!

Pretty good. Maybe a little dated.

Laura is the femme, Laura is fatale and Laura deserves it.

This movie is a must watch if you like film noir. If you don't like Vincent price you need to find a different past time.

Had I had known the type of Villain this movie contains I wish I had discovered it sooner.If I reveal its name or psychological profile It would Spoil its end revelation. Such brilliant portrayal of these intriguing characters relationships is hard to find. But once you understand the profile of a classic Psychopath its more than obvious who the Evil Villains are in any movie. This is a must see for mystery, Thriller and Noir fans everywhere! A personal favorite for me all the way!

The detective is very wooden and the whodunnit became very tedious after a while, when we find out who it is I pretty much lost interest. For me this was a very average film.
