Double insurance

In 1927, there was a sensational murder in New York. The housewife Ruth bought her husband an accident insurance with a double compensation clause for $48,000, and then instigated her lover Gray to murder her husband. The case was quickly solved and the two were sentenced to capital punishment. A reporter secretly took a photo of Ruth's death in an electric chair and posted it on the front page of the newspaper, which caused great controversy. In 1935, writer James Kane wrote the case as a novel "Double Compensation". At 31:42, the film switched to the scene where Neff confessed that there is something like a curtain between each scene, the effect is excellent, and it can be used for reference. At 1:02:58, the conversation was interrupted by an uninvited guest. The arrival of Phyllis prevented Norton from expressing objections to the case. This is a classic delayed use case. The audience began to worry about Norton's conclusion, but they had to wait for the answer to be revealed, which created the most suspenseful effect.

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 unfold~~~
