Same here atho I did not see the film I loved this melody and named my daughter :Laura!!but did see it on TV years later, This recording is spoilt. with many scratches unfortunately.
Sometimes I think - technology to the contrary - that the violin often actually sounded better in old recordings than in modern ones. Or were the violinists better? I wouldn't know. A very beautiful piece of music, thank you Doug-san!
Strings and instrumental techniques have changes. To the point that it is impossible to reporduce that kind of sound today. I can not say what is better. But, no doubt, it is different. Mainly, strings were made of guts. Secondly, players use to play solos in just one string, full of glissandi; today, they keep the same position and change the string and use a different finger for each note.
They played with more portamento - slides between notes. A more romantic sound, in ways, than is used today. I'm a violinist. I know what you mean. The sound suited the movies of the time, yes?
Much maligned Hollywood at its best, standing there with Casablanca and For Whom The Bell Tolls (though the latter suffered from being filmed in colour).
I read her memoir and I also fell completely in love with her. Because she became unstable mentally and she knew it. And she encouraged herself by thinking, 'well people may like me because I'm considered attractive by some people." So she went and started working in a clothing store for women. Where she was very successful of course. I thought that was so poignant. It was genuine, too.
Laura the woman you have never met but wish you had .
Music that brings back memories of times gone by.

Well everything was better back then
Always a piece of music that haunts especially beautifully played here. Fine work on the video.
So glad to have found this video. I was thinking about this melody and was about to put the film on.
Thank You!
If you think hard enough we all had a Laura in our dreams. Awm
Mi más profunda admiración
「Laura」は easy listening 曲の最高峰です (^^♪
Ethereal. Unworldly.
Tema inolvidable que trae gratos recuerdos

Gene Tierney was as beautiful as the music.

Try the Spike Jones and the City Slickers version!!
I was named after this song
One word. Classic>
It is a beautiful haunting piece of music. Does anyone know who the vocalist was that sung the lyrics in the beginning of the movie? It was a man..
Reminds me of harlem nocturne. Both sultry tunes.
Is this the same Morton Gould who wrote the music for Agnes De Mille's ballet Fall River Legend?
(sorry... afraid I just don't know!)
@@CurzonRoad Thank you for your response, I am curious I will look it up.
I forgot to mention I just bought the film on Amazon.
Yes
Big time yes!
