A Hollywood classic that set the standard for film noir.

An insurance representative lets himself be talked into a murder/insurance fraud scheme that arouses an insurance investigator’s suspicions.

Arguably the first true film noir, Double Indemnity set the standard for film noir in Hollywood: the sharp angles, shadowy shots and thrilling criminal capers were to be emulated for years to come and still recur prominently in popular culture. Starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Directed by Billy Wilder.

USA, 1944.

Includes post show drink and nibbles.
