"I wonder if you wonder"

#29: Double Indemnity




Watched on February 5, 2011
Released in 1944
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/




Fun Fact: In the first scene in which unwed Walter first kisses Phyllis, we see a wedding ring on his hand. Fred MacMurray was married and the ring was not noticed until post-production.

Rob's Thoughts: The second movie by Billy Wilder that was on the list (first one was Some Like it Hot).  This movie was really good.  The story was well written and the acting by both MacMurray and Stanwyck were great.  Overall, it was a really great thriller and I highly recommend it.

Whit's Thoughts: I liked this movie. Fred MacMurray was an excellent actor. The movie was very straight forward, but had a slight twist at the end. Told in retrospect, the story line was the classic murder for romance and proved that even the best can't get away with murder.
