LAURA (1944)

Dana Andrews in Otto Preminger's LAURA, with a glib, sly grin after looking at the pretentious tribal masks owned by his first suspect, Waldo Lydecker played by Clifton Webb. Ironic that Webb resembles Robert Keith from The Masks TWILIGHT ZONE episode (two decades later). Dana's strong, silent Mike McPherson knew to stay clear, anyway, before strolling to Waldo's bathtub. Thankless job, that.
