Movie Review - Laura
Laura (1944)
directed by Otto Preminger
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from As Seen On TV
What's remarkable is not how easily con-men and detectives, society heads and writers seem to fall in love with Laura Hunt, but how willing she is to fall in love with almost anyone who shows her some kindness. It's her easy heart that does so much unwitting damage to the company she keeps - just like you-know-who.
I'm also assigning retroactive "Pick of the Week" status to that little chiaroscuro by the sea, Fallen Angel. There's more atmosphere in the coffee shop of a sad coast-town ghost-town than any well-appointed apartment of the urban very rich.
