Double Indemnity (1944), Billy Wilder

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/

**1/2


















Inner monologue so oft parodied it sounds like a parody of itself. A high-maintenance Dame with high-maintenance hair and "plans of her own". A disposable husband. A male mentor figure who is the lead's only meaningful relationship. Murky character motivations all over.

Film noir, you say? No! Movie noir :)!

And, needless to say, a fun watch.
