Double Indemnity

Klappentext Double Indemnity was a key film in the definition of the genre that came to be known as film noir. Zusammenfassung Richard Schickel traces in fascinating detail the genesis of the film: its literary origins in the crime fiction of the 1930s, the difficult relations between Wilder and his scriptwriter Raymond Chandler, the casting of a reluctant Fred MacMurray, the late decision to cut from the film the expensively shot final sequence of Neff's execution.
