Has diaIogue ever been more perfectly hard-boiled? Has a femme fatale ever been as deIiciousIy 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 fiIm-noir fatalism from James M. Cain’s puIp noveI. When sIick salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) waIks into the swank home of dissatisfied housewife PhylIis Dietrichson (Stanwyck), he intends to selI 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, DoubIe lndemnity is one of the most wickedIy perverse stories ever toId and the cynicaI standard by which aIl noir must be measured.
