You wanna see a good old crime noir film? You wanna see one of those movies with a narrator relating the events as a dame gets in the way over a murder plot? Go watch Double Indemnity starring Fred MacMurray and Barbra Stanwyck.
An insurance salesman (MacMurray) falls for the wife (Stanwyck) of a nasty client. She tells him how she wants to get rid of her husband and they concoct a plan that is sure to get them double the insurance policy due to the double indemnity clause. The real fun begins after the murder when deceit from all sides rears its head, and the insurance company digs its heels in on paying.
There is a reason that this flick is on many critics' best-of-all-time lists. What a great movie, worthy of a major recommendation.
