“Laura” (1944) Classic Movie Recommendation

Screening Room with Chet and Dee

We discuss one of the most famous—and stylish—film noirs of all time. We love the mystery, the plot twists, the gorgeous sets and award-winning cinematography, but mostly we can’t get enough of Clifton Webb, who creates the unforgettable character of Waldo Lydecker. Just what is Waldo’s relationship with Laura? Why does Laura put up with him, or with her philandering fiancée? Which of these confusing characters is a murderer? Is the detective too hung up on Laura to solve the case? In addition to these questions, Chet and Dee will talk about the ways a movie from 1944 handles sexuality, career women and the line between love and obsession.
