Double Jeopardy...I mean Indemnity



Double Indemnity, a film directed by Billy Wilder is a great example of Film Noir. This movie is considered one of the 1st and best Film Noirs of all time. This film is a great example of Film Noir because it has all the key elements Film Noir are supposed to have. It is black and white, it was a very dark plot and time, and was very edgy for its time. in all i liked the film because the plot kept me entertained and the editing and music were unique. on the other hand the acting was...sub par...and some of the camera angles were...awkward. i thought the movie in whole was a great example of how Film Noir should look and sound and Wilder did an amazing job with the materials he had in 1944.
