Laura
This scene from Otto Preminger's Laura (1944) demonstrates the characteristic shadowy, dream-like, high-contrast black and white cinematography of the film noir genre. The film involves a detective’s investigation into the murder of the mysterious Laura. As he interviews Laura’s closest friends, he becomes obsessed with the ghost of the dead woman, who is revealed in a series of flashbacks. Pictured here is Dana Andrews with the portrait of Laura.
