Director: Otto Preminger
Stars: Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb
Sometimes I take Netflix's advice and watch what they suggest, hoping that their "best guess" rating is right. They guess what you will think of a movie by your reviews of other movies. This one they guessed at 5 stars for me.
And they weren't wrong! I absolutely adore mysteries- can't get enough of them. And if there's a little romance, and plenty of suspense, I will be happy!
(Note: names can be confusing. Just so we're clear Dana Andrews is the man and Gene Tierney is the woman!)
(SPOILER!) Detective MacPherson (Andrews) investigates the murder of Laura (Tierney), questioning her fiance, her employees, and special friend, reporter Lydecker (Webb), as he tries to get at the truth of what happened on Friday night. Well, turns out everyone was in love with this lovely woman, and MacPherson finds himself falling for her, as well. But things aren't as they seem! (Which means, of course, that Laura shocks everyone by turning up alive and well on Monday morning!) But there's still a body, and a murder to solve!
