Laura (1955 film)
Laura is a 1955 American TV film for The 20th Century-Fox Hour. It was a remake of the 1944 film of the same name.[1]
It was adapted by Mel Dinelli, produced by Otto Lang and directed by John Brahm.[2]
Stack was assigned to star as he was under contract to Fox. He said Brahm "who had not asked for the idiotic assignment, got so tangled up in the cameras and the seven day scheduleit took us fourteen days to shoot it."[3]
Sanders and Stack reprised their roles in a 1968 TV film version which Stack called "an even worse version of the poor defenseless film".[4]
