    There is a smell of death in the air of honeysuckle, and the result of the original attempt to double compensation is to pay a double price. When I felt that the whole plan was foolproof, I suddenly felt that it was all flaws from beginning to end, and I gradually couldn't even hear my own footsteps. Am I going to die from the...

    not good looking.... . . The main character here speaks so fast. The male lead is always a baby and should sing. But the actor said I LOVE YOU twice to his boss. Always lighting a cigarette or something like yes yes yes~~( ﹁ ﹁ )...

    I saw the comment that the heroine's hairstyle looks like a poodle... I even told the ending from the beginning, so I always have a sense of loss that the suspense was solved prematurely, but the lines are so...

    [Using a single-line narrative to ensure the smooth structure of the film, the plot is compact and coherent. The lines are so wonderful: the smell of honeysuckle in the middle of the night; the footsteps of dead people; It's a pity that the typical image of the heroine who is called a femme fatale is not prominent enough in my opinion, but the fat manager is too stealing for the show, so she took the match and lit the first and last cigarette for...

    Billy Wilder's suspense noir is in no way inferior to Xi Fat in terms of storytelling. The entire viewing process is ups and downs. Although the ending is known at the beginning, it is still guided by the plot, and it is impossible to guess what will happen in the next...

    9.0 He leaned back in his chair, facing the tape recorder, as if he was not talking about this perfect murder, but about the unforgettable love given to him by the femme fatale he shouldn't have fallen in love with. Raymond Chandler, James Caan and Billy Wilder's screenplay is full of punch, and it's brilliant. I read the beginning and guessed the ending. When I think about it, I always feel that the male protagonist's low, gloomy, cold but emotional voice came from my...

    7 points. Maybe it's because there are too many noir films these days, and after 10 minutes, I guessed all the plots behind. This makes the later viewing experience somewhat boring. The lines are well designed (I actually wonder why people in old movies often speak as fast as a machine gun?) The ending is a bit too weak, maybe it would be better if two people shoot each other to death? It's a pity that the line of the victim's daughter did not...

    The most typical happy enemy is the proportion of Wilder and Raymond Chandler, the two complement each other; to create such a typical tough guy and femme fatale, completely changed the pattern of Hollywood film noir in the...

Double Indemnity quotes

  • Barton Keyes: Eh? There it is, Walter. It's beginning to come apart at the seams already. Murder's never perfect. Always comes apart sooner or later, and when two people are involved it's usually sooner. Now we know the Dietrichson dame is in it *and* a somebody else. Pretty soon, we'll know who that somebody else is. He'll show. He's got to show. Sometime, somewhere, they've got to meet. Their emotions are all kicked up. Whether it's love or hate doesn't matter; they can't keep away from each other. They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them,

    Barton Keyes: [chuckles]

    Barton Keyes: but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a *murder*! And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery. She put in her claim... I'm gonna throw it right back at her.

    [Walter hands Keyes a light]

    Barton Keyes: Let her sue us if she dares. I'll be ready for her *and* that somebody else. They'll be digging their own graves.

  • Walter Neff: Dear Keyes, I suppose you'll call this a confession when you hear it... Well, I don't like the word confession, I just want to set you right about something you couldn't see because it was smack up against your nose. You think you're such a hot potato as a claims manager; such a wolf on a phony claim... Maybe y'are. But let's take a look at that Dietrichson claim... accident and double indemnity. You were pretty good in there for awhile Keyes... you said it wasn't an accident, check. You said it wasn't suicide, check. You said it was murder... check.
