Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney) has been murdered. As New York detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) investigates, he finds that everyone seems to be in love with her -- and he, too, gradually falls under her spell. But things aren't always as they seem, and McPherson soon faces a shockingly unexpected twist. I watched this last night and expected a little Twin Peaks action from the description. Other than a man named Waldo Lydecker, there wasn't much exciting in it. It was a decent movie with a young Vincent Price, and I love old movies so it was time well spent.

Great movie.
There are so many allusions to old movies in Twin Peaks. Someone complied a list of them on twinpeaks.org. I was watching Dinner at Eight the other day and there's a Packard couple and a guy named Renault.

I actually saw this movie in a theater not long ago. I had heard it was one of the influences behind Twin Peaks. It's a nice, suspenseful film noir; not at the Hitchcock level, but good. The near obsession with Laura's portrait seemed to be a link with Peaks, but that and the character names were about all, I thought. Yes, there's a surprising plot twist!
The question is, Where have you gone?

The detective gave me a Cooper feel. Playing that baseball game and seemingly obsessed with his job
