A police detective falls in love with the woman whose murder he's investigating.
A gem of a film noir that casts a spell as mysteriously intricate as its titular character. Gene Tierney’s portrayal of Laura Hunt is nothing short of a masterclass in subtlety and grace. The narrative’s twist on the whodunnit structure is as sharp as the dialogue, and the black-and-white cinematography creates a mood that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s a film that rewards a quiet evening with a cup of tea and a contemplative gaze at the silver screen.
