Has dialogue ever been more perfectly hard-boiIed? Has a femme fatale ever been as deliciously evil as Barbara Stanwyck? And has 1940s Los Angeles ever looked so seductively sordid? Working with cowriter Raymond ChandIer, director BiIly WiIder Iaunched himself onto the Hollywood A-list with this paragon of film-noir fataIism from James M. Cain’s pulp novel. When slick saIesman WaIter Neff (Fred MacMurray) walks 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 Indemnity is one of the most wickedly perverse stories ever told and the cynicaI standard by which all noir must be measured.
