A great noir film in typical Billy Wilder style, one of my favorites of Barbara Stanwyck's work. The storyline may not seem brainy enough today, but I just like this style of suspense and realism. I personally think that Barbara Stanwyck is an actress with excellent acting skills and beauty, but it is a pity that she is not well-known among Chinese fans. In "Double Indemnity", she perfectly interprets a femme fatale whose beauty, figure, mind, and wrist are first-class. In fact, this femme fatale really makes people shudder, but after watching the movie, I don't hate it at all. The character, on the contrary, thinks she is very exciting, which is probably the charm of the character. Plus, she's gorgeous in The Lady Eve, she's so, so pretty!

Walter Neff: I was thinking about that dame upstairs, and the way she had looked at me, and I wanted to see her again, close, without that silly staircase between us.

Barton Keyes: This Dietrichson business. It's murder. And murders don't come any neater. As fancy a piece of homicide as anyone ever ran into. Smart, tricky, almost perfect. But... I think papa has it all figured out. Figured out and wrapped up in tissue paper with... pink ribbons on it.
