		Clifton Webb was the most improbable of movie stars that one could imagine -- in an era in which leading men were supposed to be virile and bold, he was prissy and, well, downright fussy.
		Webb's acting wasn't neglected, either, and in the 1920s and '30s, he was regarded as one of the top stage talents in the country, a multiple-threat performer equally adept in musicals, comedies, or drama.
		Webb was a well-known figure on-stage, but his value as a film performer was considered marginal until he was well past 50 -- he'd done some film work during the silent era, but in the mid-'30s, he was brought out to Hollywood by MGM for a film project that ran into script problems.

		Webb was born Webb Parmalee Hollenbeck on Nov. 11, 1889, in Indianapolis, IN.

	Clifton Webb
		Clifton Webb was born as Webb Parmalee Hollenbeck on November 19, 1889 in Beech Grove, Indiana.
		Webb, Bosley Crowther of the New York Times wrote: "Yet there slyly protrudes through his arrogance a flickering spoof of pomposity and a tentative benevolence toward humanity, of which he generously agrees to be one.
		Webb seldom spoke of his father, and there have been reports that his mother left her husband when their son was 3 to enter show business.

		Webb's portrayal of the murderous aesthete Waldo Lydecker not only made him a movie star, it was also at once a summation and expansion of Hollywood's "sissy" characters.
		Webb played this role to perfection; as Waldo he is at once droll and scary, capable of enormous pathos and vicious vitriol ("I should be sincerely sorry to see my neighbors' children devoured by wolves").
		Webb had the charisma and authority to single-handedly rescue the sissy from secondary roles; he is either the star or a major player in all of his films that followed.

		Especially effective is the contrast in voices: Webb’s manically pitched in the upper register, with exaggerations of words and syllables for bitchy upper-class emphasis, while Winslow delivers his lines ungrammatically with a flat, uninflected deep croak, sibilants slurring all the while.
		Of course, the film presents boys as unruly little heathen, and Webb delights in dubbing them "sadistic mass murders," "psychopathic little liar[s]," "uncouth, uncivilized little savages," and "juvenile delinquents." In effect, Webb throughout fulfils the traditional stereotype of gay men as contemptuous of breeders and their offspring.
		Their parents fare just as badly when they fall under Webb’s sniffy disdain the film is populated by neglectful fathers and grotesquely overbearing or scatterbrained mothers.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Laura
		McPherson discovers that the victim inspired rabid, near-incomprehensible devotion from both cerebral newspaper columnist Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb)—who, in a truly bizarre moment, greets the cop by exiting his bathtub in the buff—and shallow, gold-digging two-timer Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price), whom Laura was considering marrying in a week's time.
		And the director's denunciation of the upper crust is most forcefully illustrated by his juxtaposition of the heroic, heterosexually virile "dick" McPherson and the erudite, homosexual dandy Lydecker—a clash of simple "normalcy" vs. haughty degeneracy meant to appeal to WWII-embroiled citizens' hunger for strong (as opposed to fey) men.
		Webb might steal the movie with his marvelously arch, snooty performance as the lethally acerbic columnist, but in the end Laura—closing on a note in which the titular femme appears on her way toward redemptive domesticity with McPherson—is nothing if not an affirmation of a traditional, hard-working, middle-American lifestyle.

		I have enjoyed seeing Barbara Stanwyck in many films, but in my mind, she is most prominent for the excellence of her performances as two women with opposite personalities: Julia Sturges in Titanic, and Phyllis Dietrichson in Double Indemnity.
		Clifton Webb is perhaps less well remembered today.

		The performers, with the exception of Clifton Webb as Uncle Elliot and Herbert Marshall as Somerset Maugham, are decidedly from the "studied" school of drama.
		Clifton Webb probably would have won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, had he not received one two years earlier for his work in "Laura." His death bed scene, though maudlin as all get out, is nonetheless unforgettable.
		Their performances are superb and flawless, and the same can be said for Clifton Webb, Herbert Marshall, John Payne, and of course, the Oscar-winning Anne Baxter as the ill-fated Sophie.

		Ewen Montagu, a British officer attached to intelligence who is caught up in the dominant military problem of the day — with British forces dominant on the North African coast, the Germans are all but assured of a European invasion, and Sicily is the most likely landing.
		The film's only weak note is Gloria Grahame as a token American star who plays a pivotal role in the story — her performance is fine, if a bit melodramatic, but her noir gun-moll accent collides with the refined tones that surround her.
		Ultimately, the film belongs to Clifton Webb, who carries the bulk of the scenes and barely manages to smile once.
