Double Indemnity
It’s love and murder at first sight!
The Story
An insurance man and a restless wife plot the perfect murder, and the perfect payout.
Salesman Walter Neff falls for Phyllis Dietrichson and lets her draw him into killing her husband and faking the accident that will trigger a lucrative double-indemnity claim. They think themselves clear, but Neff's friend, the dogged claims investigator Barton Keyes, smells fraud in every detail. Billy Wilder's definitive film noir, razor-sharp from its first frame to its last.
