Product Description

A classic noirish mystery with a consummate ensemble of actors. Dana Andrews adroitly plays the detective who delves into the murder of the stunningly beautiful Laura, with whom it seems everyone, including the detective himself, is in love. But Webb steals the show as the titular ingenue's creepily elegant social mentor, Waldo Lydecker. Based on the novel by Vera Caspary. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Director. Academy Awards: Best (Black-and-White) Cinematography.

LAURA IS EVEN LOVELIER IN HD
5 Stars
LAURA IS EVEN LOVELIER IN HD
Regarded as one of the finest film noirs ever made, Otto Preminger's LAURA (20th Century Fox, 1944) is certainly that, and more. While it contains familiar noir aspects - the hard edged detective and the shadowy, urban setting - it lacks a femme fatale in the traditional sense since the title character isn't manipulative and is more preyed upon than predatory. The film is an even mixture of noir, whodunit and psychological romance.The entire cast is picture perfect: Gorgeous Gene Tierney is the elusive Laura, a role she was born to play, Dana Andrews is the detective smitten with her painted portrait, Clifton Webb plays Laura's possessive benefactor, Vincent Price is her suspicious suitor, and Judith Anderson is Laura's jealous aunt. Everyone delivers a performance that counts among their best work, aided by the bitingly witty screenplay by Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein and Betty Reinhardt, all under the precise guidance of director Preminger. The haunting score by composer David Raksin is in total harmony with the tone of the film, and adds considerably to our emotional involvement. LAURA is a superb, well crafted film that satisfies on any level.20th Century Fox has done an exceptional job with its new Blu-ray of this classic film, which does full justice to Joseph LaShelle's crisp, black and white cinematography. The audio fidelity is crystal clear mono, and quite impressive. All the great extra features from Fox's previous DVD have been transferred over.Several reviewers are complaining about the cover photo; it IS Gene Tierney - the flat lighting and angle are just giving off a different look.My highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last in HD
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013
Verified Purchase
At last Fox has released to us, newly bright and polished, without crude splices, jumps, grit and noise, this most perfect of cinematic marvels, the divine Laura (1944). Nominally a Manhattan murder mystery, it is set amongst a crowd so elite it is free of any wartime references, save an invitation to buy bonds in the end-title. The wars in Laura are private, conducted by spoiled narcissists, living in vast East Side apartments replete with servants, balconies and objets d'art. The film's unusual plot is a scaffold for Vera Caspary's social commentary on the character-corrupting effects of beauty, wealth and genius. We remember the eponymous Laura, the venal suspects in her "murder," and the crackling dialog, still fresh after nearly seventy years, far better than her story.
Laura is a showcase for the ingenue Fox chief Darryl F. Zanuck called "the most beautiful woman in movie history." If Marilyn Monroe photographed as flesh, Gene Tierney, equally beloved by the camera, is living porcelain. Unlike Monroe, whom everyone felt they could know, Tierney is maddeningly unknowable, unpossessable, like the prize statuette in Zanuck's earlier Warners' production, The Maltese Falcon (1941). Laura's sphinx-like beauty drives the film relentlessly forward as she fascinates us and everyone else on the screen, never leaving our minds after the picture ends, inviting us to view this film again and again, not to solve its mystery, which we learn in first viewing, but its mysterious power over us that makes it the singular and unique Noir classic it remains today.
Haunting as Tierney's beauty is the movie's theme, now also known as Laura. Written by David Raksin over a weekend and inspired by a Dear John letter, it is the only song Cole Porter regretted he had not written. Lovingly recorded no less than four times by Frank Sinatra, also by Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker and countless others it is now a jazz standard. You hear it here first, long before Johnny Mercer gave it lyrics. Even a hilarious Spike Jones parody has not diminished its emotional power.
Laura owes an undeniable debt to the equally imperishable Casablanca (1942); they share key devices and elements: romantic triangles, even quadrangles, deft and mesmerizing flashbacks, lost or unrequited love, idealized femininity and American macho, but most importantly the unforgettable characterizations supported by brilliant screenwriting.
Nearly as riveting as Gene Tierney's beauty is Clifton Webb's voice. He portrays the effete columnist and critic, Waldo Lydecker, modelled, it is said, on Alexander Woollcott. The movie's narrator and Laura's mentor and promoter, his unmistakable and inimitable voice never before sounded so crisp, eloquent and irresistible as in DTS-HD. Amazingly, this was Webb's sound film debut at age 54; he was a Broadway celebrity in song and dance for decades. A very fey presence on screen and gay in his private life, the credibility of his passion for Laura has been questioned in print; in fact it is irrelevant. Lydecker is a collector of beautiful things and Laura is, to quote him in another context, "the gem of my collection and I intend to have it back."
Supporting Tierney and Webb are Vincent Price, as Shelby Carpenter, Laura's sociopathic fiance, the "six foot baby" of Caspary's book, and Dame Judith Anderson, the fiendish Mrs. Danvers of Rebecca (1940), no less wicked but far more powerful as Laura's wealthy cougar-aunt. Piecing the mystery together is the street-smart but socially outclassed detective, Mark McPherson, investigating what he plainly calls Laura's "collection of dopes." Portrayed by Dana Andrews (in substantial lifts, made more obvious in HD; as were Bogart's lifts and wig in Casablanca), he plays fast and loose with our Constitution, invading homes, bank accounts and the physical integrity of suspects, but with a likable credibility and unerring eye for visual detail the cinema always loves.
Finally, in a bow to ethnic diversity and the working class, there is the brief but memorable appearance of Dorothy Adams, a Hollywood stalwart, as Bessie Cleary, Laura's hysterical but devoted Irish-American maid.
So welcome to Laura's apartment, now in HD and as clear and vibrant as Rick's Cafe, and enter a world of entitlement where, though it is 1944, the War has never happened, cigarettes are omnipresent and harmless, drinks are served before noon, we leave work to go dancing at lunchtime and everybody already has a maid, who may care about our murder more than anyone else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat poor visual quality for a movie this important. Otherwise, perfectly fine.
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2023

I watch DVD movies of this vintage all the time and nearly always the picture quality is excellent. On this one the picture is fuzzy. I thought there was something wrong with my DVD player so I tried two of my other "old movies" and they're just fine, so clearly this version of Laura is not the best. The sound is slightly unclear, too, but that may be the original movie's director. I watch the 1947 Sorry Wrong Number and the 1944 Double Indemnity all the time and I understand every word perfectly in those. In Laura, I have to "rewind" frequently and listen a second and third time before the dialog becomes perfectly clear. Perhaps another company has a better version.

Laura (1944 - 20th Century Fox. 2disc dvd edition ,released in 2006) Surprisingly until buying this DVD around 3years ago I dont think I'd seen this film. But seeing the combination of director Otto Preminger, the luminous beauty of Gene Tierny, Dana Andrews ,Clifton Webb & Vincent Price in an 'ensemble piece ' gave me some idea it may well be worth a viewing .
And...Oh yes, it certainly was ,a wonderful 'Noir-Detective/Mystery/Murder/Love story' with sparkling dialogue, fine acting ,excellent direction ,sets & Cinematography
I wasn't aware the title song was a massive hit composed by David Raskin who along with Jeanine Basinger provides a top notch commentary to the film. There's also another fact filled commentary from 'old Hollywood' expert Rudy Behlmer (Best listened to after watching the film )These are on disc 1 ,along with a short 'deleted scene'.
There's plenty of descriptions of the film ,so I'll describe the extras & a few other bits n bobs.
Disc1 has English language in stereo & mono + French & the film has clear subtitles in English, French & Dutch. The film is in good condition with no noticeable scratches or jumps etc .
Disc2 has the following, 'the Obsession' a good 12min appreciation of the film (from 2005) with comments from director Carl Franklin & critics & film historians ,including James Ursini, Alan Silver & Dr Drew Casper.
There is 2 excellent documentaries, A slightly sad one on Gene Tierney (44mins 1999) that features a former husband ,family members & Richard Widmark. & shows beauty & talent are not always a passport to happiness.
By contrast 'The Versatile Villian' (44mins 1997) documentary is an absolute joy, showing Vincent Price (who is very good in the film ) and features his daughter, various actors including Dennis Hopper, Jane Russell, & director Roger Corman, this has clips from many of his films. This shows him as an educated former stage actor & someone that had a full life outside of Hollywood, being a lecturer ,an art collector & donator of many of his works from his own collection. He also wrote a number of books on cooking & much more. Disc2 also has an original trailer.
The extras on disc2 also have clear subtitles. In English - Dutch, French, German ,Italian & Spanish .
The film is 84mins ,black & white & is in its original 1:33-1 ratio . '12' certificate.
