Never having seen anything of "Laura" other than the movie, I adored Clifton Webb as Lydecker. Greenstreet is, of course, also a wonderful actor but I can't image anyone in the role but the 'fussy' Webb. He's just so self-possesed, which is how I picture the Lydecker character.

I seriously just finished a re-read of the book this morning. Holy kickass timing, Batman.

He's not supposed to be thin!
That was one of the things that bugged me about the movie too! I hadn't thought so originally, as I came across the film first. After reading the book, the film didn't feel 100% right to me in terms of Waldow's 'look'.

Don't get me wrong. I love the book and the movie with an equal (ardent) passion. It's just that you make a good point.

Mark. Mark McPherson. Sweet lord on a cracker-jack pogo stick. Dana Andrews could not have been more perfect. Also, major, major, major crush on the character. But that's neither here nor there.

I'll have to read the book and see for myself now.

I do know that as close an adaptation of Robert Bloch's "Psycho" the movie was, I was surprised that Norman Bates originally resembled Ed Gein more (maybe heavier, but middle-aged with thinning blond hair) rather than the vulnerable and soulful-looking Anthony Perkins.

Then again, that may well have made the reveal MORE unsettling.

Having to choose between Lorre and Greenstreet. Good lord.

I feel like a supercomputer or android or something that's been presented with an impossible logical choice. DIVIDE BY ZERO ERROR

How on earth did I not know that Laura was based on a book?! I feel like the worst person ever.

Nah, don't sweat it too badly. It's only recently been republished.
But when you get a chance, read the book. Then read it again, because Waldo's narrative voice is just so deliciously...I don't even know. Childish? Narcissistic? Campy?

My final paper for one of my English classes was about Waldo as the simultaneous femme fatale and representative "queer" character.

The book was republished recently? That's great news.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't know either and now I need to read it desperately.

Holy fuck, a Laura secret. I have nothing to say to this beyond: squee!
