Otto Preminger Director

previously directed Danger – Love at Work

As Detective Mark McPherson investigates Laura Hunt's death, he begin to fall in love with the deceased woman.

Quote: Waldo Lydecker

I shall never forget the weekend Laura died. A silver sun burned through the sky like a huge magnifying glass. It was the hottest Sunday in my recollection. I felt as if I were the only human being left in New York... I had just begun Laura's story when another of those detectives came to see me. I had him wait.
