 DVD Verdict Review - Laura
Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney, Leave Her to Heaven) seemed to have it all: beauty, class, a career, a handsome fiancé, and the powerful columnist Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb, The Razor's Edge) for a mentor.
Tierney's rightness in the role of Laura, while obvious now, was not so evident at the time the role was being cast; it was only when the original actress pulled out of the production that Tierney was brought on board, resulting in a career breakthrough performance that remains one of her most memorable and beguiling.
For Laura's part, since she is a woman of taste in her own right, her respect for him, her deference to his judgment, and her admiration for him (the reason she seeks him out in the first place) provide further confirmation of his superiority.

Gene Tierney, whose heart-shaped face mixes the exotic with the girl next door, brings the poise and calm of a model to her role as Laura, the object of every man's gaze and the target of a killer that missed once but is bound to try again.

Laura's a powerful presence in the first half, and a less talented actress would have wrecked the atmosphere, but Tierney handles it well.

Gene Tierney, whose heart-shaped face mixes the exotic with the girl next door, brings the poise and calm of a model to her role as the object of every man's gaze and the target of a killer.
"Laura" is a tight, smart murder/mystery with some VERY dark undertones-the effects of beauty and desire on a frustrated and twisted psyche, the destructive and venal thoughts hidden behind a veneer of sophistication and wit, and a man's growing obsession with a (presumably) dead woman are just some of the dark forces at work here.
Laura's arrival in the film is a truly magical moment, even when you have seen the film many times.
