LAURA (1944). Great film noir of a Detective (Dana Andrews looking a lot like Dominic West in THE WIRE) investigating the death of a Socialite and later turns out to be alive. All sorts of tangles, but quite enjoyable and stellar spots by Judith Anderson, Gene Tierney, Vincent Price and Clifton Webb who steals the film as the prissy arrogant critic, getting in most of the film's best lines. *****
