Double Indemnity

Okay, Eric and I watched Double Indemnity last night. EXCELLENT. 5 stars.

"Smooth-talking insurance salesman Walter Neff meets attractive Phyllis Dietrichson when he calls to renew her husband's automobile policy. The couple are immediately drawn to each other and an affair begins. They cook up a scheme to murder Mr. Dietrichson for life insurance money with a double indemnity clause. Unfortunately, all does not go to plan..." - Col Needham
