Double Indemnity by Billy Wilder, 1943. An insurance salesman hooked up with a married woman. After a spring, the two carefully planned a perfect murder case. They murdered the woman's hapless husband and tried to defraud the insurance money. The nearly perfect plan of the two was discovered by the investigators of the insurance company. A crack in the plan finally turned into a big mouth that devoured them. The shooting technique is impeccable, the rhythm is controlled very well, there is no nude scene, but the atmosphere of eroticism and intrigue is permeated. Billy Wilder is a real master of the genre. In addition to the movie itself, looking at the era now, you will find that Americans are so fucking happy. In the spring of 1943, Sud fought bloody battles in Stalingrad, and the European battlefield resisted the Nazi attack for the first time. It has been six years since China invaded China from the end of 1942 to the spring of 1943. There was a great famine in Henan, and people ate each other. When the entire Eurasian continent was devastated, it was a luxury to eat mice, but Americans were discussing how to murder their husbands in a supermarket full of goods. The material production capacity and geographic location of the United States is really good.

Double Indemnity quotes

  • 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.
