Yes, just saw this a few months ago. Good film.

This was my review of it in 2018 http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php...postcount=3780

Laura (1944)
8/10



In this film noir drama, a Manhattan police detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) investigates the murder of a beautiful, well liked, successful, socialite, Laura Hunt (Dana Andrews), by interviewing her arrogant, older, controlling mentor, columnist Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb) and the man Waldo despises, Laura's playboy fiancee Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price).

Rather than being a hard boiled film noir crime picture, it's served sunny-side-up as a deep drama of depthful unique characters whose own interests and motivations are peeled away like onions, slow cooking a dish you're invested in.

However it's not without its deficits. We know Waldo well, but emotions are dry when it comes to the starch-shirted feelings of Detective McPherson and charitable Laura. The movie plays more a well-told mystery than a thriller, with suspense of intention, not of action.

Laura (1944) won the Oscar for Best Black-and-White Cinematography for Joseph LaShelle, Nominated Best Director for Otto Preminger, and Nominated Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Clifton Webb.

WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST (1958). OK sequel to THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN has the Sister of ACM (who We never heard about in the first film) searching for the brother who she is sure is still alive.
Not as good as the first one (although kudos to the Makeup Man), but could have been worse and pretty neat ending. **1/2

The She Beast (1966) - Featuring Babs Steele et. al.

200 years after being killed by the residents of Transylvania, Bardella the witch returns and inhabits the body of a newlywed bride. Her husband and an eccentric Transylvanian Count join forces to take on the witch and save the bride. I hated every minute of it, but I couldn't look away.

Well, just like Clark Griswold was told... when Eddie's rottweiler Snot gets going, sometimes it's best just to let him finish.

KITTEN WITH A WHIP (1964). Very campy JD film where Ann-Margret turns an aspiring Politicians life upside down. AM is quite good here, beautiful (although I think She looked better in the late 70's) albeit Batshit crazy. She was criticized for her acting in the 60's, but She at least tried and she certainly improved as time went on.

Saw this on YOUTUBE and sadly, the only way was Mystery Science Theater3000. CANNOT stand them, with the yacking and the snide remarks. ***
