Double Indemnity

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Gregory Baird
Greed, lust, and actuarial tables -- matched with a drum-tight script, terrific performances, and perfect direction -- add up to a classic L. A. film noir that remains as scintillating today as it was in 1944. Directed by the great Billy Wilder, Double Indemnity stars Fred MacMurray as an insurance salesman who falls for the wife Barbara Stanwyck of one of his clients and becomes entangled in a scheme to bump off her husband. ...

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Gregory Baird
Greed, lust, and actuarial tables -- matched with a drum-tight script, terrific performances, and perfect direction -- add up to a classic L. A. film noir that remains as scintillating today as it was in 1944. Directed by the great Billy Wilder, Double Indemnity stars Fred MacMurray as an insurance salesman who falls for the wife Barbara Stanwyck of one of his clients and becomes entangled in a scheme to bump off her husband. MacMurray may play an insurance salesman, but the dialogue is pure hard-boiled detective, all innuendo and double-entendre, with snappy come-ons and comebacks. It’s no wonder -- the script was based on a novella by James M. Cain and co-written by the godfather of American crime fiction, Raymond Chandler. Sporting a beautifully florid, confessional voice-over worthy of Philip Marlowe himself, the masterfully constructed narrative unfolds entirely in flashback -- a storytelling technique Wilder would reprise to great effect in Sunset Boulevard. The lead actors are unforgettable: MacMurray smug and confident from the get-go, Stanwyck subtly seductive and manipulative. Anchoring the proceedings is the legendary Edward G. Robinson in one of his best performances. Perfectly cast as MacMurray’s boss and father figure, he plays a brusque, cigar-smoking claims manager, with a big heart underneath it all, who ends up unraveling the perfect crime. This is genre filmmaking at its finest, and a definitive noir.

    This movie IS film noir

    This movie's characters, dialogue, cinematography & lighting are all quintessential film noir. I have watched this movie dozens of times & am always captivated by the Stanwyck/MacMurray dynamic. One of my all time favorites.

    Que viva noir!

    Noir film speaks to the depression of Mexican America, for the heartbreak of the main characters reflects that of Mexicans in the US. As noir movies go, this one is truly remarkable. For this and his radio work, it's almost possible to forgive MacMurray for "My Three Sons," which is in and of itself OK.
