Double Indemnity
4K Restoration
In this classic film noir, insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) gets roped into a murderous scheme when he falls for the sensual Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), who is intent on killing her husband (Tom Powers) and living off the fraudulent accidental death claim. Prompted by the late Mr. Dietrichson’s daughter, Lola (Jean Heather), insurance investigator Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) looks into the case, and gradually begins to uncover the sinister truth. The film received seven Oscar nominations including Best Picture and Best Actress (Stanwyck).
Dir: Billy Wilder / 1944 / US / 107 min

“This shrewd, smoothly tawdry thriller, directed by Billy Wilder, is one of the high points of nineteen-forties films.” – Pauline Kael, New Yorker

“Few other directors have made so many films that were so taut, savvy, cynical and, in many different ways and tones, funny.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
