Double Indemnity
- Commentary: Under construction.
Even though the scenario in this movie is common enough in movie-story telling, let alone any kind of story telling, there is something universally perverse in its presentation in this movie, not to mention that the choice of actors was (and remains) genius. I've probably seen this movie, one way or another, at least five times over my movie-watching life time. I will never hesitate to watch it again. And again. Magnificent world building.
This movie, by the way, is one of Roger Ebert's Great Movies.
