LAURA
(1944, 20th Century-Fox, 88 min.)
The most celebrated movie mystery of all time is, as a bonus, one of the most elegantly perverse films ever produced. Caspary's story, about a detective (Dana Andrews) who falls in love with a murder victim (Gene Tierney), becomes a lustrous banquet of great performances, direction, Oscar-winning cinematography, and one unforgettable theme song. Utterly mesmerizing. Screenplay by Jay Dratler, based on the Vera Caspary novel. Directed by Otto Preminger.

7:00
BEDELIA
(1946, General Film Distributors / BFI, 90 min.)
Caspary's much-anticipated follow-up to Laura is hardly known, as the author's bitterness toward Hollywood led her to make the film in England. Margaret Lockwood, queen of British femme fatales, stars as a beguiling woman whom men will literally die for. The rare 35-mm print of this neglected gem comes courtesy of the British Film Institute, and is allowed one screening only. Screenplay by Vera Caspary, Herbert Victor, Isadore Goldsmith. Directed by Lance Comfort.
