"I'm crazy about you Baby!"

We watched the film noir movie Double Indemnity which was, I thought, a great movie to start a genre with. I had never heard of film noir before and it definitely striked my interest. Double Indemnity, directed by Billy Wilder was an amazing film about an insurance man named Walter (Fred MacMurray) who goes to this man's house to try and sell him life insurance. He meets the man's wife and falls for her in a matter of hours. Her name was Phyllis played by Barbara Stanwyck. She was most definitely the femme fatal in this movie. Her character brought on such an amusement because for a woman she was well spoken and very scandalous. Also, Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) was a huge character in the film. Walter worked for him and they had a close bond. This film contains a murder and a heartbreak. Once again, I thought that Double Indemnity was a great movie to kick off the film noirs.
