劳拉的欲望

　　Sheila Hood is an ex-cop whose marriage is on the rocks. Rather than confronting her husband about an affair, she hides surveillance cameras in her home and watches his transgressions, becoming a voyeur of her own life. Her husband, Tom Kale, is an ornithologist who begins an affair with an ex-girlfriend, Merle James, whose beauty and fragility echoes that of the birds he studies. Ray Starling, the charismatic owner of a boutique hotel, is Merle’s lover, and has dealings with her father, Mr James, a powerful oil baron who operates in the shadows but whose influence touches the whole city. Merle’s younger sister, Hazel, is also drawn to Tom, but trapped in Starling’s web of power. Calvin is an cop whose loyalty to his ex partner, Hood, is tested when mounting evidence from her own surveillance tapes connects her and Tom to Starling’s murder, and perhaps even Merle’s mysterious death.

 这部在歌舞片发展早期拍摄的影片，堪称是当时最为奢华的好莱坞巨制。影片由后来被誉为“爵士之王”的保罗·怀特曼领衔主演，还请到了一众歌舞名手。片中的内容取自百老汇的经典演出，通过名家和管弦乐队的出色演绎，为观众感受爵士年代风情提供了一次珍贵的机会。影片在当年获得了奥斯卡最佳艺术指导奖。2013年，它还被美国国会图书馆列入国家电影目录。
