Double Indemnity (Classic Film Pick)
Billy
Wilder's 1944 film noir Double Indemnity starring Fred MacMurray as
Walter Neff a Los Angeles insurance salesman convinced by Barbara
Stanwyck's sultry character Phyllis into murdering her husband in order
to collect double the amount of her insurance policy. "Double
Indemnity" received Seven Academy Award nominations and remains one of
the best loved film noir movies. Edward G. Robinson stars as
MacMurray's associate, but it's Barbara Stanwyck that rules the roost
as one of cinema's most diabolical femme fatals.
