    I've seen much closer to the plot, and "Body Heat" is one of them, but after all, this is the first one, and it is even comparable to Hitchcock's best films in terms of suspense setting skills and increased dramatic...

    #D9# One of the most classic noir films in film history, the rhythm is smooth, there is no superfluous, and the audience's emotions are implicated every...

    The film I watched on New Year's Eve, although some greetings were inserted in the middle, but the effect of arresting people is still the same. A scene hiding behind the door, at first glance, was to create a sense of tension, but after watching it carefully, it should be a turning point in the relationship between the two. Favorite director of the...

    Awesome! The plot is so awesome! The end of the story is said at the beginning, which requires a lot of plot scheduling ability! Even if I told you, everything was unexpected! Favorite very belly black girl! There's nothing special about the shot, but it's completely overshadowed by the story and acting! Especially the part about killing people in the car is too valuable for reference. The early movies were designed and worshipped for low-end people like...

    nice! But I've watched a lot of old movies recently, especially watching some in a trap style, and I'm a little tired of...

    Noir Film Festival@Hong Kong Film Archive Cinema The plot and performances are excellent, and the heroine's several performances at key plot points are very exciting. The rhythm is well controlled and the lines are very interesting. In addition, it is worth mentioning the narrative structure of this film. Most of the plots use a straightforward method, which seems too simple and without skills, but actually enables the audience to understand the story structure very clearly, and makes the The...

    A typical example of femme fatale in film noir. The first time the male and female protagonists met, the glances upstairs and downstairs had already secretly expressed affection. However, after reading some comments, I also analyzed the "comradeship" between the male protagonist and his colleagues. The play is really good, basically telling one thing in a seamless and compact manner. The murderous plans of the man and the woman and the subsequent conflicts and mood changes are smooth, natural...

    It's a film that gets more and more interesting as you watch it. The plot is simple but compact. The male protagonist is a bit like...

    In the classic black and white films of the last century, the people on the screen are no longer alive, and the ending is known as soon as the plot is turned over, but it can still be watched with relish and fascinating! The end is full of love, the male protagonist is actually in love with his boss, Mr. Patton, oh...

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.
