Otto Preminger’s first acknowledged feature (he disavows everything that came before) is a masterpiece of American movies. Though it shares many of the standard trappings of film noir, Laura transcends the genre on almost every level. The tightly structured, relentless narrative style that would mark most of Preminger’s future work was less common in other noirs, where simplicity was the norm. Don’t miss a rare opportunity to see this great American classic on the big screen. 

"One of the great examples of film noir (and a great film, period)...if you haven't seen this film, do yourself a favor and go get caught up in its spell." -The Seattle Times
