About this product

Product Information

Billy Wilder's classic noir, a familiar brew of lust, larceny, and lethal intentions, stars Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck as a hot-blooded couple. Framed in flashback, the story is told by the dying Walter Neff (MacMurray), beginning with his first meeting with the seductive Phyllis Dietrichson (Stanwyck) during a routine renewal of her husband's car insurance. After some flirtation she arranges a meeting without her husband, where she asks about an accident policy to be bought without her husband's knowledge. Although repulsed by the implications of her suggestions, his obsession with Phyllis leads Neff to contemplate the possibility of finding a way to kill her husband while making his death look like an accident. After she comes to his apartment, the insurance salesman finally agrees to become involved in the murder, and the two of them begin methodically working out the details. After they dispose of Dietrichson, Neff learns more than he wanted about Phyllis' unsavory past, but realizes he's now too involved to extricate himself. He's also concerned about his a boss, Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson), an omniscient insurance investigator who has taken over the case. DOUBLE INDEMNITY is brilliant noir, among the best of the genre, with a byzantine yet utterly plausible plot, stylized hard-boiled dialogue by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, and three terrific performances by Stanwyck, MacMurray, and Robinson.

    Classic Film Noir

    If you were only able to view a single example of film noir, this would be the first choice. An interesting dark story about the "perfect" crime. You'll see many of these story-telling techniques used in other films, but if you're a film buff, you'll know that this movie is where these techniques came from. Fred MacMurray appears here in a very different sort of character than the ones he is usually known for. Edward G. Robinson, in an unusual move, appears here in a supporting role, with his usual stellar performance, and Barbara Stanwyck was justifiably nominated for an Academy Award for her performance here. This particular item includes a made-for-TV remake of this movie; it's mediocrity shows how good the original film is.

  • The 1973 version!

    The 1973 version starring Richard Crenna is the one I was most interested in, and I think it's excellent (it's on the second disc). More up to date, more timely, taking place in the modern world. I also get a kick out of seeing the decade I grew up in, the style and culture of the time. How things have changed since the '70s, but also how similar so many things are... Everyone is supposed to say that the remake of an old classic doesn't measure up, but I am not part of that herd. Isn't the 1976 remake of King Kong a great movie, of course it is, as are many other remakes. You should enjoy BOTH versions of this movie.

  • Prototypical Film Noir

    supposedly the prototype for film noir - all the elements are there: weak, easily manipulated hero; femme fatale; murder and tragedy - but not my favorite; I prefer The Big Sleep.

  • Double Indemnity

    One of my all time favorite "film noir" movies! You just can't beat the trio of Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwick and Edgar G. Robinson.
