'Double Indemnity'
Billy Wilder at his greatest. 'Hello, Keyes'. Fred MacMurray - one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. Then there's our vamp with a capital V... If you've never seen it get it for those dark evenings that are currently on the horizon. Oh, and the clothing? Mm...

Re: 'Double Indemnity'
I'm going to be controversial here: the French did noir in the 1950s infinitely better than the US 1940s version. Even if the former had nowhere near as much success.
some sort of banal legitimacy

Re: 'Double Indemnity'
From what I've seen of French noir, plus the doomy, gloomy stuff from earlier on, I think you have a point, dear Yuca. Highly atmospheric. In fact, I think I might search out a few titles for the dark nights ahead when we're all opening tins of baked beans or eyeing the labrador as a possible source of protein.
