Description
A masterpiece of film noir cinema from director Billy Wilder (who also co-scripted with Raymond Chandler) follows an insurance salesman (Fred MacMurray) as he’s lured into a diabolical murder plot by an ice-cold femme fatale (Barbara Stanwyck). Together they plan to kill her husband, then make it look like an accident so the life insurance policy’s double indemnity clause pays out twice what it’s worth. Edward G. Robinson and Tom Powers also star. 108 min.
