Double Indemnity

Uploaded by Crandell Movies
Barbara Stanwyck and Fred McMurray give two of the finest performances of their careers.
WILDER NOIR WEEKEND: 1944 | NR | 107 min | Crime, Drama, Film Noir. Director Billy Wilder's noir classic set the standard for the genre when it was released in 1944, paving the way for The Lost Weekend and 1950's brilliant black comedy noir Sunset Boulevard (playing Sept. 13). Barbara Stanwyck plays femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson, who lures straight-arrow insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) into killing her husband. The actors and snappy dialogue sizzle on a slow burn but Neff and his boss (Edward G. Robinson) have the real relationship.
