Review of Double Indemnity (1944) by Matt T — 02 May 2010
Greatest American film?
This archetypal film noir has all the ingredients. An entertaining story based on a James M Cain novel. Witty dialogue from co scriptwriter Raymond Chandler. A perfect Cast. Barbara Stanwyck is outstanding as the alluring femme fatale. Fred MacMurry is equally as good as the patsy who falls for her charms. Director Billy Wilder creates a dark atmospheric thriller that improves on each viewing. Timeless.
