THE best Film Noir ever!
Double Indemnity THE greatest Film Noir of all time. The movie has some of the famed tropes of the genre but also bucks others. The story is about Walter Neff played by Fred MacMurray an insurance man in Los Angeles who plots with Phyllis Dietrichson played by Barbara Stanwyck to kill her husband. The movie was based upon a book by crime novelist James Cain but was extensively re-written with the help of Raymond Chandler another purveyor of the hard-boiled detective style.<br /><br />The movie begins with Neff recanting his tale of murder and betrayal to his boss Barton Keyes played by Edward Robinson. Neff thought he’d gotten away with the perfect crime of killing Mr. Dietrichson, but then everything unraveled. The doomed man up against the odds is a mainstay of Noir. The movie however also breaks some of those standards. For example Phyllis is not a femme fatale as many would think. When Neff first meets her she’s just gotten out of the shower and walks down the stairs to the front door and Neff can’t stop thinking about the bracelet on her ankle. If it was all about her sexiness that got Neff to take out her husband than this would have followed that trope about women in Noir. However it’s not the seduction that draws them together. Instead it’s the fact that the two are grifters, conmen out to buck the system by killing Mr. Dietrichson so they can collect the insurance money, which pays double on certain deaths, hence the title of the movie Double Indemnity. Another way the film breaks the genre is that when Neff realizes the game is up and he’s about to die he doesn’t go to Phyllis to bear his soul but rather Keyes who was like a father figure to Neff. It was about trying to beat Keyes as much the money that led Neff towards the insurance scam-murder.<br /><br />Double Indemnity also has some of the best Film Noir dialogue ever recorded. That was due to the writing chops of Ramond Chandler. There are so many great exchanges that my friend I originally memorized several of them after we first saw the film. That just adds another gem onto this already great film.<br /><br />The Academy of Motion Pictures agreed on how great Double Indemnity was when it came out nominating it for 7 Academy Awards. It didn’t win any, but that showed how much of an impact it had and it still does today.<br /><br />This version of the film comes with an introduction by Robert Osborne who used to be the host on Turner Classic Movies channel.
