In homage to a great film noir!, 13 March 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A "Laura-esque" tale finds McGarrett obsessed with the painting of the late wife (France Nuyen) of a local industrialist (Herbert Lom). Lord and his detectives get involved when two skeletons are discovered and the mystery of their murder is afoot. Nuyen plays both the wife and her daughter, the latter having a bit of a secret of her own.

The story benefits from great performances from Lord, Lom, Nuyen, and acting coach legend Jeff Corey. The lush score by Morton Stevens is another of outstanding contributions to the series, making his music another of the show's attractions.

This episode was the season premiere of the show's fourth season and was a great one to have that honor.
