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.

User Reviews

A Young Waldo Lydecker

I remember the evening that Laura was on, as if it were yesterday. I was a 7 year old all things Kennedy fan and prepared for HRH Lee by taking my bath early and nestling in front of the black and while set in my pajamas and robe. In retrospect, I was an uber gay Waldo Lydecker...dreaming of the day when I could type my column while soaking in the bath.

At 7, I had already seen the original film and found it mesmerizing. I found this version, and Lee's acting, incredible. However, considering I was 7, I don't know that my memory is firing on all cylinders in terms of recall. Was it good? Was it as bad as others recall? We must find a copy...and you know Lee has one. Release it. Release it.
