Review of Double Indemnity (1944) by I Don't Know W — 26 Jul 2011
This classic film noir teams the superb writing of Raymond Chandler with the excellent direction of Billy Wilder (Some Like it Hot, the Apartment) to create an intelligent and dark murder suspense. Brooding and stylish, with a razer sharp script.
It takes a while to get into the tempo of the speech, which is pretty fast and complex at times, but once I got into it I found it to be probably the best example of this genre of film and definitely worth watching for any fan of classic films.
