Nominated for five Academy Awards, this stylish Oscar-winning noir twists and turns with new suspects, new evidence and unexpected revelations.

A wealthy journalist (Clifton Webb) becomes entranced with a beautiful young career woman named Laura (Gene Tierney). But shortly before her wedding to a dashing young playboy (Vincent Price), she is found murdered.

Stirred by her portrait, the detective (Dana Andrews) assigned to her case finds that he, too, is strangely under Laura’s spell.

Laura won an Oscar for Best Cinematography (Black-and-White) and was nominated for a further four awards including Best Actor and Best Director.
