Phyllis ja hänen rakastajansa Walter luulevat selvinneensä täydellisestä murhasta ja he odottavat herkeämättä miljoonia vakuutusyhtiöltä. Kun naisen mies löytyy kuolleena rautatiekiskoilta, kaikki luulevat tapahtunutta traagiseksi onnettomuudeksi - kaikki paitsi yksi henkilö. Raymond Chandlerin käsikirjoittama elokuva Double Indemnity on unohtumattoman tiivis ja kyyninen murhatarina. Elokuvahistorian ensimmäinen ja paras film noir oli Billy Wilderin suuri läpimurto Hollywoodissa. Elokuva palkittiin kuudella Oscarilla. Suuri elokuvadiiva Barbara Stanwyck sai lumoavan Phyllisin roolin, joka oli esikuvana kaikille tuleville Kohtalokkaille naisille. Double Indemnity - Nainen ilman omaatuntoa perustuu James M. Cainin, jonka käsialaa on myös Postimies soittaa aina kahdesti, menestysromaaniin. (Atlantic Film Fin.)

I was always interested in the film noir genre from the war period. I have enjoyed it mostly in the American detective and crime movies from the nineties, which were referencing that time. But when I really started watching something like that, I did not find in it what I’ve always imagined. And most of all, I lacked anything that would resemble the mystique and the atmosphere connected to it.

I will not concern myself with how high the film Double Indemnity would rank in the imaginary hierarchy of the best film noirs, but I must say that it is an example of a highly professional genre film where all elements from the screenplay, direction, casting, performances, to the last technical profession, work as they should, and the result is a spectacle that is impressive even today, and considering the time of its creation, it is simply a top-notch film. This is how I imagine a genre film classic. Although the screenplay is essentially very simple, the execution is a delight. Overall impression: 90%.

Noir quality with an excellent and well acted main (anti)hero, suspenseful from the very beginning to the very end and with perfect music by Rózsa. I liked the confrontations with the investigative bulldog Keyes even more than the scenes with Fred MacMurray and the uncompromising femme fatale Barbara Stanwyck. I'd be interested in a non-Chandler book to compare with a very Chandler film.

A voiceover. A femme fatale. In black and white. Classic. As far as the plot goes, it's indeed a relatively straightforward spectacle where you can anticipate the hint of every twist, but when Billy Wilder presents noir, the form doesn't let you down with even a single misstep.

All my life I've passed noir films as a slightly inert viewer, but that's just me. But I've always admired Billy Wilder's ability to layer dialogue on top of dialogue, and here I've had a blast again. Too bad about two things, though. Firstly, I would have liked some refreshing visual ideas, in this respect Orson Welles, for example, was unmatched, but here where there's nothing. And then the laboriously invented idea of the murder seemed quite banal and in some places very naive. Barbara Stanwyck, however, was perfectly chosen for the role of the femme fatale. She is seductive, but at the same time, there's something off about her from the first look .... you just see her dark side before she turns out to be a cynical bitch :o)
