Review of Double Indemnity (1944) by Paul Howlett for The Guardian — 23 Jul 1980
I love Double Indemnity because it's about a couple who are cheap and greedy, but achieve a kind of tragic heroism; because it has one of the great father-son relationships (although they aren't actually father and son); because it's a thoroughly cynical thriller redeemed by just a fading touch of romance.
And it also has a trio of superb performances.
