Dana Wynter in "Laura" (1955)
One of four screen adaptations of Vera Caspary's Laura is a 1955 TV version for the 20th Century-Fox Hour (also known as "A Portrait of Murder.") It features George Sanders as columnist Waldo Lydecker, Dana Wynter as advertising executive Laura Howe (rather than Hunt), and Robert Stack as detective Mark McPherson.

The classic Gene Tierney/Dana Andrews version, first.

The '55 TV remake starring Stack and Wynter, with George Sanders, second.

The '68 TV version on videotape with Lee Radziwell as Laura, and Stack and Sanders reprising their roles, third.

What was the fourth version?

A 1962 German TV movie with Anton Walbrook as Waldo Lydecker

I watched this version of Laura recently and enjoyed it.
