Description
Walter Neff (
Fred MacMurray), a smoothtalking but naïve insurance salesman, falls for the seductive charms of his beautiful client Phyllis Dietrichson (

Considered the greatest film noir ever made, and nominated for seven Academy Awards®, Double Indemnity is legendary director
Billy Wilder's masterful adaptation of James M. Cain's classic thriller. With a brilliant cast -
Fred MacMurray,
Barbara Stanwyck,
Edward G. Robinson - it is a cynical, witty thriller about adultery, corruption and murder.
