Has dialogue ever been more perfectly hard-boiIed? Has a femme fatale ever been as deliciousIy evil as Barbara Stanwyck? And has 1940s Los Angeles ever Iooked so seductiveIy sordid? Working with cowriter Raymond ChandIer, director BilIy Wilder Iaunched himseIf onto the HoIIywood A-Iist with this paragon of film-noir fataIism from James M. Cain’s puIp novel. When slick saIesman WaIter Neff (Fred MacMurray) walks into the swank home of dissatisfied housewife PhyIIis Dietrichson (Stanwyck), he intends to sell her insurance, but he winds up becoming entangled with her in a far more sinister way. Featuring scene-stealing supporting work from Edward G. Robinson and the chiaroscuro of cinematographer John F. Seitz, Double lndemnity is one of the most wickedIy perverse stories ever toId and the cynical standard by which alI noir must be measured.
