Laura (1944)
This film noir is based on the novel of the same name adapted for the big screen by director Otto Preminger and staring Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews and Vincent Price. Was it a young woman's fiancée, one of his other girlfriends or a snobbish writer that killed her?
Everything trundles along in this film pretty much as you would expect for the first third to one half then plot twists start appearing all over the place. If you persevere this becomes a really good “who done it” with suspicion falling on just about everybody. Despite a slow start there is a fair amount of suspense once the film does get going and is well worth a watch.
4/5
