Cain's hardboiled noir novel by director Billy Wilder and writer Raymond Chandler. Insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) calls at the house of femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) in order to renew her husband's insurance policy. An immediate attraction sparks between the two, and gradually Phyllis seduces Walter into conspiring with her to murder her husband, now provided with a double indemnity insurance clause. The murder is carried out as planned, but the couple then find themselves growing increasingly suspicious of each other as they get closer to collecting the money. When Walter's boss, relentless investigator Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson), starts to look into the policy, Walter and Phyllis' steely resolve begins to falter. desertcart.co.uk Review Director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard) and writer Raymond Chandler (The Big Sleep) adapted James M. Cain's hard-boiled novel into this wildly thrilling story of insurance man Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), who schemes the perfect murder with the beautiful dame Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck: kill Dietrichson's husband and make off with the insurance money. But, of course, in these plots things never quite go as planned, and Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) is the wily insurance investigator who must sort things out. From the opening scene you know Neff is doomed, as the story is told in flashback; yet, to the film's credit, this doesn't diminish any of the tension of the movie. This early film noir flick is wonderfully campy by today's standards, and the dialogue is snappy ("I thought you were smarter than the rest, Walter. But I was wrong. You're not smarter, just a little taller"), filled with lots of "dame"s and "baby"s. Stanwyck is the ultimate femme fatale, and MacMurray, despite a career largely defined by roles as a softy (notably in the TV series My Three Sons and the movie The Shaggy Dog), is convincingly cast against type as the hapless, love-struck sap. --Jenny Brown Review: Double delight - Despite the noir genre not matching at first with the director of great comedies Billy Wilder (Some Like It Hot, Avanti!), it is indeed one of his best works. A crime story told in flashback, it tells a tale of insurance agent (Fred MacMurray cast wonderfullly against type, as he was in another Wilder classic, The Apartment) falling for a true femme fatale (Barbara Stanwyck at her innocently seductive best). Together they scheme a murder of her husband with the insurance with double indemnity clause as icing on the cake... Towering over most of noirs, the film is crisp in its storytelling and expertly paced, teeming with intelligent dialogues and seasoned with other interesting, albeit small characters, including Stanwyck's stepdaughter and her boyfriend. The role of his lifetime was, however, reserved here for Edward G. Robinson, another insurance agent on the heels of disclosing the wicked scheme. Going out in 1944, the film was nominated for seven Oscars and remains among the best noirs ever, alongside "Laura", "The Maltese Falcon" or later "Chinatown". Review: Probably not for the cgi generation, but a wet Sunday afternoon or late night will entice you into this great movie - great story telling of an age old theme and acceptable acting. Fred, on the face of it, is miscast - he's neither noir nor tough guy. Perhaps because of his very ordinariness, the role works out as the straight guy seduced. The same goes for Stanwyck, who is not the most obvious femme fatale, but she could act. As a result, whether by design or accident, the film conveys the reality of relatively ordinary mortals' infatuations and desires and the lengths they will go to satisfy them. You can read the same stories in certain newspapers on a regular basis. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000MGB0RY | | Actors | Barabara Stanwyck, Fred Macmurry | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.33:1 | | Audio Description: | None | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,728 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,420 in Thriller (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (285) | | Director | Billy Wilder | | Dubbed: | None | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) | | Manufacturer reference | 5050582480467 | | Media Format | Full Screen, PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 80 g | | Release date | 12 Feb. 2007 | | Run time | 1 hour and 45 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures UK | | Subtitles: | None | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Barabara Stanwyck, Billy Wilder, Fred Macmurry - **Format:** Full Screen, PAL - **Genre:** Feature|Classic - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 45 minutes ## Images ![Double Indemnity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91S-qAQE+hL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Double delight *by A***T on 16 November 2017* Despite the noir genre not matching at first with the director of great comedies Billy Wilder (Some Like It Hot, Avanti!), it is indeed one of his best works.

The film exceeded my expectations and is a superb piece of period film noir. I had only seen Barbara Stanwyck in Western films and she was outstanding in this- Fred McMurray gave an excellent performance.Even after the difficulties between Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler, the screenplay produced a supremely watchable film with very atmospheric photography. ## Frequently Bought Together - Double Indemnity [DVD] [1944] - Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] - The Third Man [DVD] [1949] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/103724844-double-indemnity](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/103724844-double-indemnity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
