Can you imagine; if you're falling in love while investigating someone's death-- her/his images always fullfill your head, then you realized that you're in love with a corpse?
'Laura' she's the talk of the town. She's enterprising, intelligent and beautiful. Men fall over themselves to get close to her, women envy her sophistication. Such are her charms that she will even drive one respectable person to commit murder; her murder; but who would want to kill a Laura Hunt?
Laura, the lead(also the title) is characterized by shadowy, hi-contrast black and white cinematography, and smart and witty dialogue on a quick succession of scenes.
Laura and her older fiancee; Waldo Lydecker
when hard-edged cop Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of the city's most coveted woman, Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney), he uncovers a bizarre romantic triangle that offers endless motives;
Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb), an older columnist, originally offered Laura her big break in business, and had protectively maintained a relationship with her that surpassed love and bordered on obsession. Meanwhile, a wealthy charmer, Shelby Carpenter (Vicent Price), had asked for Laura's hand in marriage, a proposal about which she had been non-commital.
Even in death, Laura's femme fatale charm still alive, and Lt. McPherson soon finds himself infatuated with her lingering spirit.
The famous comeback scene
Then, can you imagine again; if the victim, who you fell in love with; still alive-- then comeback while you're still investigating the victim's death
Then of course, comes the wonderfully-surreal moment when our love-struck detective awakens to watch his murder victim walk into the room, this one is my favorite scene.
The well known music was composed by David Raksin, listed as #7 on American Film Institute 's Top 25 Film Scores list.
