Double Indemnity

This has been one of my all time favorites since the first time I saw it in the mid 90's. At this point, I've probably seen it at least five times if not more.

Every line is perfect film noir speak or is it? It almost seems like an Airplane type parody of film noir at times. But who cares when the dialogue is as fun as it is?

This movie has everything. The femme fatale. The perfect murder or was it? Edward G. Robinson!

Bart and I watched this over the summer but for some reason, I didn't write about it until now.

Anyway ... some of my selected favorite lines ....

Walter Neff: You'll be here too?
Phyllis: I guess so, I usually am.
Neff: Same chair, same perfume, same anklet?
Phyllis: I wonder if I know what you mean.
Neff: I wonder if you wonder.

Walter Neff: Yes, I killed him. I killed him for money - and a woman - and I didn't get the money and I didn't get the woman. Pretty, isn't it?

Phyllis: I think you're rotten.
Walter Neff: I think you're swell - so long as I'm not your husband.
Phyllis: Get out of here.
Walter Neff: You bet I'll get out of here, baby. I'll get out of here but quick.
