LAURA, February 20, 2013

Wednesday, February 20 – 7:30 PM
LAURA, 1944, 20th Century Fox, 88 min. Dir. Otto Preminger. Investigating a murder, chain-smoking Detective McPherson (Dana Andrews) falls in love with the dead woman - only to find out that it wasn't she who was murdered. Even in a genre known for its convoluted twists, LAURA is a one-of-a-kind film noir. The brilliant cast includes Gene Tierney as the gorgeous Laura, Clifton Webb as Waldo Lydecker and Vincent Price as Laura's fiancé, Shelby Carpenter. The famous haunting and nostalgic musical theme by David Raskin is unforgettable. The film is said to have been an inspiration for David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.” {DCP} Carl Rollyson will sign copies of his book Hollywood Enigma: Dana Andrews at 6:30PM in the Egyptian Theatre Lobby. Introduction by Dana Andrews’ daughter, Susan Andrews.
