Synopsis

Billy Wilder’s adaptation of James M. Cain’s slim novel of sex, murder, and the art of the insurance investigation provided a template for many subsequent noir films. As a thriller that ratchets up the tension within a framework of recognizable human emotions, this is deservedly considered the peak of the genre. With Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, and Edward G. Robinson. In 35mm.
