Eddie Muller's intro to "Double Indemnity" (1944) on TCM Noir Alley 

Love your sign-off -- "See you in the shadows".

Stanwyck was robbed of an Oscar more than once. I think because she was a freelancer - not tied to any studio like Davis, Crawford, and Hepburn. She really should have gotten one for this classic. The scene in the car with her in the backseat. Her eyes are so mesmerizing. She conveys so mischievous of her character with her eyes in that scene. Missy could do anything: drama, Noir, comedy.

Best Film Noir ever!!!! Amazing movie. Awesome narrative techniques. A film relevant to the history of cinema and culturally relevant. I have the personal ritual of seeing her at least once a year.

Double Indemnity is the best film noir ever made. Thanks for posting I am really appreciated.

I love Eddie muller

Double Indemnity was without a doubt one of the best however I am a fan of so many. I was born in 1936 so the 40’s & 50’s were my era both for Film Noir and the Golden Age of Radio. I am still a huge fan of both. I love Eddie Mullers Film Noir Alley and never, ever miss it.

Double Indemnity is one of the few films I try to watch at least once a year. And I usually pick up some small detail I hadn't noticed before!

Eddie's introductions are better than the movies.

My two favorite films are, "Double Indemnity," and, "Remember the Night." MacMurray and Stanwyke are gold together.

Love the tie.

I think it's the best role Edward G Robinson ever played, he was just perfect.

Thank you for sharing this!,

Thanks for posting!

10/10 film - acting, story, dialogue, cinematography. Probably the best noir. Wilder also made another superb noir called Ace in the Hole, where he shifts noir elements to sunny New Mexico and follows a washed up hack exploiting a caving accident for personal gain. It is probably the most cynical, bitter, excoriating vision of American society ever made, years ahead of its time.

Watch Stanwyck's face in the car when her husband says he'll be back by Tuesday at the latest, as Macmurray crouches in the back seat, waiting to strangle him!

Based on the Snyder-Gray case most famous now for the photo of Ruth Snyder in the electric chair

Can you please upload the Universal logo from that film?

It's strange Eddy, I love your show and I like Double Indemnity but I just didn't think it was as good as you felt it is, mainly because I thought Fred MacMurray's acting was stilted and it just seemed to be overworked on the script and lost a lot of initial tension it could have had otherwise, and for once - for me who is a great Barbara Stanwyck fan - I thought her impetus - timing in her acting was a bit wasted. Still, it's a pretty good film though I think I'd put a couple of Alan Ladd's films ahead of it - and Gloria Grahame's. Just a matter of personal taste. Did you see Cry Wolf with Barbara Stanwyck? ( and Errol Flynn? ) A film not much commented on?
