DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944) - Oct. 28, 2006
Fred MacMurray was good as an insurance agent who gets caught up in a scheme involving murder in this film noir by Billy Wilder. Barbara Stanwyck made for a good femme fatale, and Edward G. Robinson stole every scene he was in as MacMurray's surly boss. The film was really well written (not surprising considering it was cowritten by Wilder and Raymond Chandler) and featured expectedly snappy dialogue. it slowed down a bit in parts, but was otherwise quite good. ***
