Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Sameir Ali There is no such thing called a perfect murder. The movie is based on a real story, and this story had been base for so many similar films.The movie begins with the confession of the hero. He has killed a man, as per the idea of his wife. The hero is an insurance agent and he knows the best to claim the policy in double; know as "Double Indemnity". It was a well planned and executed murder. They were able to convince most of the people. But, there is no such thing called a perfect murder.A very thrilling crime drama. Well directed, and perfect in all areas.Listed among the best movies. It was nominated for 7 Oscar, but won none.Do not miss this classic. Highly Recommended!#KiduMovie

jacobs-greenwood Fred MacMurray plays Walter Neff, an insurance salesman seduced by Barbara Stanwyck's Phyllis Dietrichson (AFI's #8 villain) into killing her husband (Tom Powers). Edward G. Robinson is the claims manager, Barton Keyes, who is assigned to investigate. Noted character actor Porter Hall also appears, as a kind of witness to the "act". Richard Gaines plays an insurance company executive, whom Robinson 'dresses down' in one of the movie's many taut scenes.The story is told in flashback, by MacMurray's character, who gets to watch Robinson's work the case (not unlike the way Peter Falk later played TV's Columbo).The film received Academy Award nominations in several categories, but failed to win a single Oscar: Best Picture, Best Actress for Stanwyck, Best Director for Billy Wilder, Screenplay by Raymond Chandler and Wilder, its John Seitz B&W Cinematography, its Miklós Rózsa Score, and Sound by Loren Ryder. #38 on AFI's 100 Greatest Movies list. #24 on AFI's Most Heart-Pounding Movies list. #84 on AFI's 100 Greatest Love Stories list. Added to the National Film Registry in 1992.

utgard14 Film noir classic, directed by Billy Wilder, about an insurance salesman (Fred MacMurray) who falls for a married woman (Barbara Stanwyck). She uses him to help her get rid of her husband problem. It's a firecracker of a film that moves quickly, with hard-bitten characters and snappy dialogue brought to life by a great cast and a legendary director. Easily MacMurray's best role on the big screen. Wonderful supporting work from Edward G. Robinson. Stanwyck is terrific, as well, although selling her as the kind of woman a man could fall in lust with at first sight is one of the film's only flaws. Beautifully shot by John Seitz. The incredible score is courtesy of Miklós Rózsa. A lot of top talent worked on this. Nominated for seven Oscars, it took home zero. Which is a crying shame, especially with regard to the screenplay written by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler, adapted from a novel by James M. Cain. I like Going My Way as much as the next person but, come on now, this script has quite possibly the best dialogue in movie history. It's on my list of top ten favorite movies of all time so obviously I recommend it.

Prismark10 One of the earliest example of Film Noir. The third film in Hollywood by Billy Wilder that he co-wrote with Raymond Chandler who brought the hard boiled dialogue to this thriller. This film made Wilder's name.Fred MacMurray is the insurance salesman who falls for the femme fatale with the anklet, Barbara Stanwyck. Fatally wounded he tells his tale in flashback, confessing to a Dictaphone so the company's investigator, Edward G Robinson will know that the guy across the desk was the murderer.Stanwyck was the nurse who might have bumped off the first wife and then married widower, an oil tycoon. Now bored or just wants to be on her own with the wealth, she wants to get rid off the husband. MacMurray is smitten enough to help her do the deed. The proceeds of the accidental death insurance policy she has just taken out is I guess just a bonus. Once the husband is dead he realises that he is a dead man walking.This is a cleverly constructed thriller. It really is a relationship between MacMurray, Robinson and Stanwyck. At the end it is Robinson he lets down.MacMurray is the every-man, the insurance salesman good at his job but bored and wants to runaway with a hot woman. Stanwyck is the cold, icy one. You know she is using MacMurray, he is just a sap to her. The film belongs to Edward G Robinson, the bloodhound who knows all the tricks in the books and he has volumes of them on his shelving.
