LAURA - Classic Movie Theme      In the 1944 movie, a detective, played by Dana Andrews, becomes possessed by e picture of Laura assumed to be dead and the subject of his murder investigation. The lovely Laura theme is played while the detective wanders around the empty apparent. Imagine his surprise when Laura enters her apartment as they both discover that it was another woman who had been staying in the apartment and mistakenly shot in the dimly lit apartment.
 It was only when Johnny Mercer added the now famous lyrics that the song took hold. Several famous composers have said that Laura was one song they wished that they had written.
This is a very romantic solo piano version by Dave Brubeck almost in the style of Rachmaninov.
