    Five stars, no problem. It can be called a classic model of film noir, and the rhythm control and plot progression are textbook-style models. The dramatic tension from start to finish, Billy Wilder is a master of rhythm control, and such a masterpiece of course also benefits from Raymond Chandler's script. One of the great works in the history of film, regret watching it a little late. Use the narrated recollection to hold you from the first minute until the end of the film. Films with almost...

    After watching the last perfect ending of the year, the archives retrace the whole story from the narration and perspective of the murderer. Wilder's heroine is still very dark and glamorous, with a smooth rhythm and a tense atmosphere. The script fully taps each character to serve the event , Case played well. In fact, old films have been selected because they have time and classic arguments. They often have a sense of respect. When watching, they are not so strict. It is more meaningful to...

    There is a feeling that Skynet is sloppy and not leaking. In the end, the bad guy is punished. If there is no such black desire at the beginning, probably the most innocent gentleman will not die on the...

    I am very capable, and with the blessing of a detective novel writer, the screenwriter can be said to be impeccable, and the repeated use of some trifles is very Wilder ("I love you too"). Typical femme fatale and film noir. Double indemnity is also the beginning of Wilder's first peak period. Such an elegant and delicate work was actually completed during the war, which shows that the environment in the United States was really good at that...

    B+ / It is not easy to be able to maintain a subjective perspective in the play, so the details of the camera's voyeurism being betrayed are also within an acceptable range. There is no shock like the witnesses of the prosecution and Miss Shanghai, but the psychological clues advancing layer by layer still create a strong dramatic tension. Compared with the slightly monotonous beginning of motivation, this ending is probably perfect. Repeated matches inexplicably jumped wild in my heart. Said...

    In fact, I don’t really like this kind of noir film very much. After watching it, I always feel a sense of depression. The tone of this film itself is relatively old-fashioned. It’s not like I don’t like...

    Only crime, no suspense and no horror. Flashback narrative, clearly laid out and gripping. The risk of double compensation is high, perfect murder is not perfect, and the movie is rigorous, stable and complete, and it is easy to enter the plot. However, it was not shocked or reached the level of amazement, and it was not as good-looking as...

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.
