Laura


Laura (1944)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037008/]

The Gist:
A sort of film noir detective mystery that has a unique take on things, the principle idea of a woman who everyone seems to fall in love with. Through the premise, seeds of doubt are sown into the viewer as to whether the detective's judgment can be trusted and it adds to the depth of the film. Expertly made by Preminger, I only noticed a bit of a hiccup in the detective's transition into "being in love" with the dead woman. However, it smoothed over well and the end result was a very satisfying film.
