And don't forget the legendary Edward G. Robinson. When it comes right down to it, every major role was played by legendary performers (MacMurry, Robinson, Barbara Stanwyk), and it was directed by top tier legendary filmmaker Billy Wilder. How could this film not be among the Top 10 greatest films ever made? For me, it most certainly is.
I met Fred McMurray and his wife, June Haver in the early 80s. They'd just played golf at thre Washingtonian in Gaithersburg, MD. I worked as a waitress at the 19th Hole. Absolutely the nicest couple ever. Such a memorable event for my many years working there. RIP to all these wonderful people ❤
We watched My Three Sons every week when I was a kid. Remember at the start of the program Fred saying " welcome to our show from Bristol Meyers". Time flys.......rip Fred....thanks for the memories
Yes what a great show, Fred was always a favourite after My 3 sons. You just knew he was a good man in Life from his demeanor on screen which makes My 3 sons a better show & memory 👍
I saw Fred's daughter Kate at the TCM classic film festival last month in Hollywood. She introduced Double Indemnity and The Cain Mutiny. Lovely woman. Lots of love for her Dad
Awww such a treat to see mr fred mcmurray here whatba great man he was i miss all of our old and great actors they are all loved and missed rest in peace fred❤
@@mindynickels57 Love "Double Indemnity", and both stars were great in it. But, I don't think Fred MacMurray seemed like the hot lover type. Right from our first glimpse of her in her towel, at the top of the stairs, Barbara Stanwyck was picture perfect as the evil manipulator. While Fred MacMurray was great as the smarmy flirt, and more than adequate as her sucker.
They were also co-stars in the terrific "Remember the Night". (Stick with it through the dumb initial courtroom scene and it really takes off and becomes an excellent film.)
Walter Neff, in "Double Indemnity" is a sympathetic character to me. Go back and watch the scene in which he is walking down the street and can't hear his footsteps.
He played himself because he couldn't act judging by his quote to Billy. He was a terrific actor, but l believe he still played himself in My 3 Sons as he was a good man & it showed 👍
When I was in VHS 📼 back in the mid 80’s Universal sent us restored masters for Double Indemnity and Frankenstein and it was the first time I saw a pristine B&W film (not the crap versions shown on late night TV) and it was stunning how beautiful they were.
Billy's the Best. It's The Apartment that really does it for me. I love every second of it. Fred scores another bullseye in it. That Christmas morning phone call...
Fred McMurray, he was a great actor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ My. Mother and My Aunt used to work at Morley's shirt factory in Franklin New Jersey. They made shirts for Fred. The factory is gone now. Thank you for sharing this video and all the memories in my life.
@@RoseyTuckerThat was simply how it was done back then. The famous Hathaway factory was in the northeast, too, and their shirts were sheer perfection.
Simplestity and spirituality with these great actors like mr.macmurry ,great James cagney,bogart,Dean martin etc.they are what they seem to be.God bless them all r.i.p.
This Man entertained me as a kid watching reruns on a zenith TV with the stereo built in - He had more class and character than 90% of today's entertainers
‘Double Indemnity’ and ‘Brief Encounter’ are my two favourite films of all time. I could literally watch them over and over and still marvel at their magnificence. And Ashley Judd’s remake of it is spectacular too, I must admit.
I'm guessing that the "Billy" He's referring to is Billy Wilder. It's been so long since I've seen Billy Wilder that I'm not sure even though they are showing a man there I have to guess.
@@Guitfiddlejase thanks for confirming that. We get old and things wear out and our memories sometimes lie to us. It's good to know we happen to get it right once in a while 😊😊😊
A Little know fact about fred were his quite muscular upper arms, he never showed them off like most Hollywood stars ,but i saw them Fred, so i know, R.I.P
Billy Wilder was great director. He could apparently see what an actor had that he could use. Edward G Robinson is also in Double Indemnity. He plays a sort of fatherly character. Great picture.
@cks57youto53 "Forever etched into our hearts". Our hearts? Who appointed you the official spokesman for everybody? Probably a better idea would be for you to speak for yourself, by saying: "my heart".
The superb script Fred MacMurray speaks of was courtesy of the genius - Raymond Chandler. Interestingly, Chandler makes a cameo appearance [he is sitting outside Barton Keyes' [Edward G Robinson] office reading a magazine. Actually, Chandler absolutely hated working with Billy Wilder and threatened to quit the movie several times.
