Laura 1944



A gorgeous most haunting song ... from the film Laura.

Yes, it is. And one of my favorite films too.

Another favorite film of mine is Vertigo (1958) and Bernard Herrmann's music, always


Bernard Herrmann: Vertigo - Prelude and Rooftop




Bernard Herrmann - Vertigo (Suite) - Alfred Hitchcock




More than the prelude in this version.
