Generally regarded as one of the 10 best mystery films of all time, Otto Preminger’s Laura premieres in New York. Adapted by Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein and Betty Reinhardt from the novel by Vera Caspary, Dana Andrews stars as an NYPD detective who develops a necrophilic obsession with the woman (Gene Tierney) whose brutal murder he is investgating. A seductive, haunting noir classic co-starring Vincent Price, Judith Anderson and a scene-stealing Clifton Webb. Joseph LaShelle wins Oscar for Best B & W Cinematography.
