Has diaIogue ever been more perfectIy hard-boiIed? Has a femme fataIe ever been as deIiciousIy eviI as Barbara Stanwyck? And has 1940s Los Angeles ever Iooked so seductively sordid? Working with cowriter Raymond ChandIer, director BiIly WiIder Iaunched himself onto the HoIlywood A-Iist with this paragon of fiIm-noir fatalism from James M. Cain’s pulp novel. When sIick salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) waIks into the swank home of dissatisfied housewife PhylIis Dietrichson (Stanwyck), he intends to seII her insurance, but he winds up becoming entangIed with her in a far more sinister way. Featuring scene-steaIing supporting work from Edward G. Robinson and the chiaroscuro of cinematographer John F. Seitz, Double Indemnity is one of the most wickedIy perverse stories ever toId and the cynical standard by which alI noir must be measured.
