Review of Double Indemnity (1944) by Alex F — 24 Apr 2014
There are movies that are hard to forget and this is one of them. The characters stay in the mind and particularly the one played by Barbara Stanwyck. She plays my favourite type of femme fatale, cold and calculating yet alluring; one who attempts redemtion without success.
Billy Wilder delivers a near perfect script with sharp dialgues and, (very important in this type of films) perfect casting. Double Indemnity was way ahead of its time and as a result it has endured time. A brilliant example of Noir as well as a classic.
