    A slightly different noir, there are no femme fatales, only people who are carried away by love. This murder case didn't stand up to scrutiny very well, just these few people were suspected, and it was a bit long-winded to rule it out again and again, and then not rule it out. However, the plot of the detective falling in love with the heroine is still a bit interesting, and it is even more fascinated when the heroine is "dead". This kind of infatuation with the dead is a bit kinky. PS, the...

    3.5. A film about infatuation and male control, but the imagery is very objective, alienating, and typical of Preminger. Long dialogue and little use of editing, tending to cut in the camera, which also allows him to control the exposure of picture information quite modestly, let us only follow the actions and words of the characters to uncover the truth a little bit, and as little as possible with the characters Feel the same. And every character in the film has a moral flaw, and the director...

    The work directed by Otto Preminger in 1944, starring Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, the two of them later also worked together in "Iron Bull King Kong" directed by Preminger. This detective mystery film is also the first batch of noir films. Through stylized narrative, compact atmosphere, bright black and white photography, and wonderful performances by several main actors, the film constitutes a noir masterpiece that will last...

    It's so beautiful, both in the sense of story and photography. In fact, after Lola returned, she basically knew what happened, but she was still disgusted by the ending. The pair of detective and white lotus is too disgusting, but it doesn't prevent me from admiring this...

    Masterpiece of elegance & refinement. The movie takes form of a detective crime drama that distances itself from other film noirs of the era both in cinematography and mood: the story unfolds mostly in lavish interiors flashing their beauty under a profusion of light, while keeping a light tone throughout - notably thanks to the exhilirating, caustic jeering of Lydecker. The characters persona are very fleshed out in a praiseworthy fashion, with very distinct and interesting personalities: Gene...

    Technically brilliant: well-paced, well acted, with excellent, well-lighted black-and-white cinematography. This movie is proof that high production values ​​CAN save a lack-lustre plot.

    Regarding the lack of color, movies in the era of black-and-white films tried to make up for it with the beauty of light, presenting a clean and delicate style, which was mostly beyond the reach of color films. According to Bazin's concept of "complete movie",...

Laura quotes

  • Waldo Lydecker: Look around. Is this the home of a dame? Look at her.

    Mark McPherson: Not bad.

    Waldo Lydecker: Jacoby was in love with her when he painted it... But he never captured her vibrance, her warmth.

  • Mark McPherson: Why did you say they played Brahms's First and Beethoven's Ninth at the concert Friday night? They changed the program at the last minute and played nothing but Sibelius.

    Shelby Carpenter: I suppose I should have told you in the first place. You see, I'd been working on that advertising campaign with Laura. Well, we'd been working so hard, I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I didn't hear a note at the concert. I fell asleep.

    Waldo Lydecker: Next he'll produce photographic evidence of his dreams.

    Shelby Carpenter: I know it sounds suspicious, but I'm resigned to that by now. I'm a natural-born suspect just because I'm not the conventional type.
