Yikes a 100% tomatoes rating for the movie "Laura" popcornmeter @ 90%

Vincent Price is in it……and he is a very tall man, 6 feet 4 inches. He just stands so much taller than most of the other male actors. Movie’s been good so far.

It has held up well for a movie that is 81 years old. The movies' theme song has become a standard. The DVD includes a long biography of Gene Tierney who played Laura. During WWII Tierney and her husband Oleg Casini had a baby born with multiple problems caused by Tierney catching German Measles early in her pregnancy. Among her romantic attachments over the years were Howard Hughes and JFK. Now JFK's nephew wants to bring back German measles. What an insane country.
