In which the Mister joins me in reviewing DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944), currently available to buy/rent on Prime. The film is based on the novel from James M. Cain, screenplay by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler and is directed by Billy Wilder. The story follows Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), an L.A. insurance salesman who meets Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) during a house call to see about an existing client renewing a policy. Walter soon finds himself swept up in a plan to murder, collect the insurance and skip town with the femme fatale but things don’t go as planned. This film is a MUST WATCH. The film has a run time of 1 h and 47 m and is not rated. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
