Plot Summary
Based on the novel by Vera Caspary, this classic noir mystery about the disfiguring murder of the title character (Gene Tierney) has a detective (Dana Andrews) falling in love with the portrait of the fallen femme fatal. He looks to a trio of suspects to solve the bloody crime; a newspaper critic (Clifton Webb), Laura's playboy fiance (Vincent Price) and Laura's socialite aunt (Judith Anderson). The mystery is turned on its head when the still very alive Laura reappears.

Apple should be ashamed
Ditto the previous review. Fantastic Movie but why is it only available in the incorrect widescreen ratio? This film was shot in 1.37:1 and should be available in that format. If Apple insists on distorting classic films, it should warn you before purchase.
This is an amazing movie!!!
This is probably my favorite movie ever. Not just because the title happens to be my name :). But Gene Tierney is an absolute CLASSIC beauty and a great actress. The acting and production is superb for that time period. It IS in black and white, but that only adds to the character of the movie. And watch the special features!!! Especially about the actors...Gene's story is very moving.
It's NOT a widescreen movie!!!
PEOPLE.... you're already on a computer! Do some Googling, please. Widescreen (Cinemascope, VistaVision) wasn't used until the 1950's in an effort to lure the public back into theaters. Television was exploding and people were staying home (or visiting neighbors) to watch "free" entertainment. Laura was released in 1944. Do a bit of reasearch before demanding what doesn't exist!
BTW... Laura is a must have classic! Gene Tierney is STUNNING!!! It's got a neat trick to it and keeps you guessing until the end.
