Laura

Often rated as one of the best film noir's of all time, this classic takes us deeply into obsession and jealousy. Performances by Clifton Webb and Judith Anderson are excellent, but I think that Dana Andrews was seriously miscast for the role of Det. McPherson. The film, I felt, was a bit obvious in the end.

"I can afford a blemish on my character, but not on my clothes." Vincent Price without a mustache? Plot twists? A Great ending? Hidden stuff? A shotgun blast to the face? Great dialogue? A scrubby detective? A beautiful dame? Laura has it all. Gen Tierney steals a show. A death but not the death you expect. A great ending and a perfect 90 minute run time. I went into Laura expecting a lot and it even surpassed it. It had been on my watchlist for awhile but I'm happy to finally being able to cross it off and down the line it'll sure be a film I'd watch again. Maybe now I can find out if many subtle hints were dropped before we found out what truly happened! If you are not big on Noir movies or you haven't seen many yet, Laura could be a great point to start diving into this classic genre!
