"Laura" is a 1945 popular song. The music, composed by David Raksin for the 1944 movie Laura, which starred Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, is heard frequently in the movie. The film's director, Otto Preminger, had originally wanted to use Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" as the theme, but Raksin was not convinced that it was suitable. Angered, Preminger gave Raksin one weekend to compose an alternative melody. Raksin later said, and maintained for the rest of his days, that when, over that weekend, his wife sent him a "Dear John" letter, the haunting theme seemed to write itself.

  • Laura est une chanson de 1945 composée par David Raksin pour le film Laura du cinéaste américain Otto Preminger. Le thème de la chanson est entendu à de nombreuses reprises durant le film. Otto Preminger aurait voulu utiliser le thème de Duke Ellington Sophisticated Lady mais Raksin pensait que la chanson n'était pas adaptée. Furieux, Preminger donne une semaine à Raksin pour composer une autre mélodie. Selon le compositeur, durant ce week-end, lorsqu'il reçoit une lettre de rupture de sa femme, il écrit la mélodie immédiatement et sans effort. C'est l’œuvre la plus connue de Raksin. (fr)

  • Лора (англ. Laura) — популярная в 1945 году в США песня. Музыку к песне создал Дэвид Рэксин в 1944 году к фильму «Лора», где в главных ролях сыграли Джин Тирни и Дэна Эндрюс. Эта песня очень часто проигрывалась в фильме. Слова к песне были написаны Джонни Мерсером, после того, как мелодия стала популярной благодаря фильму. По словам Мерсера, когда он писал слова к песне, то ещё не успел посмотреть фильм, хотя знал, что он романтический с несколько навязчивым рассказом. (ru)
