Review of Double Indemnity (1973) by Michael G — 25 Jul 2011
The Kind of Blue of film noir. Double Indemnity is utterly flawless and quite possibly the best movie of each of its main stars careers. Billy Wilder's direction and the script he co-wrote with Raymond Chandler are pure gold, cementing Double Indemnity's status as a truly essential movie.
While you've probably seen half of what's in this landmark film dozens of times since, you haven't seen it done this well. If you haven't seen this you're truly missing out.
