Movie Review - Double Indemnity
Double Indemnity (1944)
directed by Billy Wilder
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from B. Sweet
When the dust from this one settles it's damnation by faint praise. Nice sets, nice exteriors, and I like knowing how innovative all those darkly lit frames were. Since the privilege of DVDs is so much evidence against "Double Indemnity" as moviedom's Great Noir, the only thing to do is keep plowing through the rest of them.
