Enough of this speculation about Laura.  Here's the scoop from
Halliwell's Film Guide.

Laura **** (Halliwell's highest rating)
US 1944 85m bw
TCF (Otto Preminger)

A beautiful girl is murdered...or is she?  A cynical detective investigates.

A quiet, streamlined little murder mystery that brought a new adult approach
to the genre and heralded the mature @i(film noire) of the later forties.
A small cast responds perfectly to a classically spare script, and in
Clifton Webb a new star is born.

w @i(Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein, Betty Reinhardt)
novel Vera Caspary, d @i(Otto Preminger),
ph @i(Joseph La Shelle), m @i(David Raskin)

@i(Dana Andrews), @i(Clifton Webb), Gene Tierney, Judith Anderson,
@i(Vincent Price), Dorothy Adams, James Flavin.

"Everybody's favourite chic murder mystery" -- New Yorker 1977

*Rouben Mamoulian directed some scenes before handing over to
Preminger.

AA: Joseph La Shelle
AAN: script; Otto Preminger; Clifton Webb.
===============================================================
@i means in italics.  Halliwell uses italics in the credits
to denote "contributions of a particularly high standard".
