Darn-this is one of the few that I knew. Best movie of 1944, easily.

Laura is probably no 1 in my top 10. This week at least.

I'd know that busted up clock anywhere... If only all grandfather clocks had a shotgun hidden inside.

You need to start posting these F&L's AFTER I get off work and can participate. :-)
