Gah, the dialogue in this movie is soooo good. Phyllis: Mr. Neff, why don't you drop by tomorrow evening around 8:30? He'll be in then. Walter: Who? Phyllis: My husband. You were anxious to talk to him, weren't you? Walter: Yeah, I was. But I'm sort of getting over…

It's an alright movie. Not a huge fan of the movies that tell you the ending first and then backtrack. Especially ones like this where it has scenes that are clearly meant to be suspenseful but fail since you know the ultimate outcome.
Mozzi is "meh" onDouble Indemnityit was good. i had to watch this for a school assignment, and although its not a genre im into, it's not bad. the ending was a little meaningful/special to me, dont know how to explain why lol just a feeling between the two 🙂↕️
Ben Lecker lovedDouble IndemnityI really loved this movie. I’m not usually crazy into movies of this time, but I was caught off guard by how much I liked it. The plot was the first of this type of thing, and did it beautifully. The characters had great dynamic and worked well off eachother, and it really had me on the edge of my…

Spellbinding look at the corrosive effect of evil. Wilder's writing is delightful. Beautiful cinematography & gripping narrative framing device. Stanwyck rocks as the quintessential femme fatale. A third standout is Edward G. Robinson as Keyes, who steals the show constantly.
Kward0610 lovedDouble IndemnityOne of the greatest movies ever made and the best example of the film noir movement. Everything is perfect in this film down to little details sprinkled throughout. Billy Wilder is one of the greatest directors in film history. This is a must watch.
CvptvinHowdy lovedDouble IndemnityFor being one of the earlier noir thrillers, it's expertly written and doesn't drag very impressive. This is the second Billy Wilder film I've seen, and I'm excited to check out more of his work, plus the criterion 4K is amazing!

Truly the noir blueprint, in terms of narrative at least (a lot of the visual style would come later). Clever and entertaining, though probably not very surprising for a modern audience.
Erika Leigh Kuhl likedDouble IndemnityClassic Billy wilder a little too much exposition but still a great film. Fantastic attention to detail and there’s a reason it’s so referenced in many other films. Love you baby
Parker Nelson likedDouble IndemnityWatched for film class - this movie is such a cool story and I loved how it was told from the perspective of the main character narrating the past.

Metacritic
This shrewd, smoothly tawdry thriller, directed by Billy Wilder, is one of the high points of nineteen-forties films. Barbara Stanwyck’s Phyllis Dietrichson—a platinum blonde who wears tight white sweaters, an anklet, and sleazy-kinky shoes—is perhaps the best acted and the most fixating of all the slutty, cold-blooded femmes fatales of the film-noir genre.

To describe the story is to miss the nuances that make it tantalizing.

Film noir is the most intoxicating of Hollywood cocktails, and none is more potent than Double Indemnity...It breaks the rules of filmmaking with breathtaking confidence and is all the more satisfying for
