Trivia

It was thought for years that the original videotape of "Laura" had been erased, relegating the film to memory and television myth status. This was apparently erroneous; copies of this version of "Laura" have been periodically shown at film festivals in the recent years.

Would Love To See This Again!

I was 14 years old when I saw this. Though it was not television at its finest (Lee Radziwill deservedly got the "Worst Actress" nod from "TV Guide" critic Cleveland Amory), I didn't think it was the disaster everyone else claimed it to be. The two memorable moments are described in detail by previous posters. I'm so glad someone besides me thinks Capote's ending is superior to the feature film's and I too appreciated the Arlene Francis/Farley Granger moment. Would love to see this again! It's hard for me to believe no one out there has a copy of it. If you find it's available anywhere, please let me know!
