Laura is an overrated film noir with a capital O.
It's done with little intelligence, and the characters, who are all jackasses, are obnoxious. After fifteen minutes into
the film, I started looking at the clock. Ten minutes later, I was thinking of what to do the next day for errands. Five
minutes afterwards, I had fallen asleep.
There's no way the stupid detective ends up kissing her. What an idiot he is for trying to solve the mystery while letting
Laura go unprotected after her identity had been revealed. How many packs of cigarettes and gallons of alcohol did
everybody consume during this farce?
All in all, Laura isn't noir.
