Tell me, would you give up a nice racket selling life insurance for a dame with no regard for humanity? To Walter Neff, it wasn't a decision he thought he'd have to make, but after meeting Phyllis Dietrichson, it's the only thing he could do.

A major breakthrough for emigré filmmaker Billy Wilder, DOUBLE INDEMNITY defines so much of what we think of when we think of film noir – the post-war cynicism, the style, the performances. Speaking of which, the central trio of Fred MacMurray, Edward G. Robinson, and Barbara Stanwyck deliver some of their finest work, especially Stanwyck's completely masterful turn.
