Laura (1944)
7/10
Exceptional

This movie fits on all counts but one! you could have a wild guess who the killer is, while the director tries to provide you with alternative versions to distract you.

The movie starts out with the death of a Laura (Gene Tierney), and Detective Mc Pherson (Dana Andrews) trying to investigate the murder. The movie then goes on along McP's collection and rechecking evidence. He tries to soften the suspects by trash talk and trying to read into their reactions.

Waldo and Shelby are both in the doubting list and confront McP many times. However, what follows is a classic Noir genre. The twist and the motives are good, effective and worth the 7/10.

Looking back at the times when this movie was made, it deserves more than a 7! Hope you enjoy this as much as I have!
