Amazon.com essential video:
Director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard) and writer Raymond Chandler (The Big Sleep) adapted James M. Cain's hard-boiled novel into this wildly thrilling story of insurance man Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), who schemes the perfect murder with the beautiful dame Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck): kill Dietrichson's husband and make off with the insurance money. But, of course, in these plots things never quite go as planned, and Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) is the wily insurance investigator who must sort things out. From the opening scene you know Neff is doomed, as the story is told in flashback; yet, to the film's credit, this doesn't diminish any of the tension of the movie. This early film noir flick is wonderfully campy by today's standards, and the dialogue is snappy ("I thought you were smarter than the rest, Walter. But I was wrong. You're not smarter, just a little taller"), filled with lots of "dame"s and "baby"s. Stanwyck is the ultimate femme fatale, and MacMurray, despite a career largely defined by roles as a softy (notably in the TV series My Three Sons and the movie The Shaggy Dog), is convincingly cast against type as the hapless, love-struck sap. --Jenny Brown

Double Indemnity is my first experience in traditional film noir and i quite enjoyed it. The film stood out to me in a number of ways, mostly the unique story and the look of the film.

I think the film is ... Read More

Understandably many noir fans feel this movie is the best of its genre.
It is definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5.
No matter though, because it is a great movie, although I would have liked to see Dick Powell in this role instead of Fred McMurray.
It's a can't miss movie !

This is tense, gritty film noir at it's best, what more is there to say? A superb plot, directing, screenplay and a sterling cast..

So I've decided that the film noir has just been disrespected by the so called `noirs' of today, especially when you compare them to the greats of yesteryear. Having recently watched (and balked) films like `Devil in a Blue Dress' and `The Usual Suspects', supposed film noirs of today, I have been aching to convince myself yet again that the genre is not a total lost cause. Sure, we have the recent (ten years old now) `L.A. Confidential' to bolster our confidence that the genre isn't always handled ... Read More
