El detective Mark McPherson investiga el asesinato de Laura, una elegante y seductora mujer que aparece muerta en su apartamento.

Smash the icons to the ground! I find it amusing that according to some critics Laura is one of the best noir films ever. Yes, the atmosphere is great, with lots of tobacco smoke, dark tuning, shadows, incessant rain. Unfortunately, the plot of Preminger's film doesn't even stand as an average detective story, the dialogues are banal and the final resolution is so incredibly trivial that you can see it coming from the very beginning. One of this year’s biggest disappointments at SFS.

Excellent film noir, which didn't need the biggest stars of its time, even though Dana Andrews is simply amazing in this film, just like Gene Tierney in the role of the titular heroine. The story is pleasantly tangled and in this case, it doesn't come across as silly, but rather serious enough. A great role for Vincent Price.
