Review of Double Indemnity (1944) by Danny D — 08 Feb 2009

A wonderful film noir without some of the usual noir characteristics. most glaringly absent was the traditional detective role. robinson sort of fills the detective slot in a creative way, giving what for him was a really good and unorthodox performance.

I did find a few strong unliklihoods in the film that sort of bothered me and knocked the film down a bit, but I thought this film through quite a bit after I saw it and liked it more and more as the hours went by.

solid classic.
