I read a couple of reviews on film noir “Double Indemnity” I chose to write from two reviews for this blog. Tim Drinks and Variety Staff had a verity of information of “Double Indemnity”. Tom Drinks wrote that Double Indemnity was a “ cynical, witty, and sleazy thrilled about adultery, corruption and murder; Double Indemnity was derived from hard-boiled, Novella”. The Variety Staff gave good explanation review of film “Double Indemnity” they talked about how the film developed mainly around the characterization of MacMurry. “Miss Stanwyck and Robinson, the first two as lovers and Robinson as an insurance claims agent who balk the pair a perfect crime, from becoming just what they had intended it to appear”. They also mentioned on their review how “MacMurry was given a better performance it was different from his usual light roles he has had before, Veriety staff describe how “ Stanwyck is not as attractive as normally with what it seemingly blond wig, its probably part of a make up to emphasize the brassiness of the character, the infallible insurance executive quick to determine phony claims, gives strong performance, it is a typically brash Robinson role”. The fraudulent, almost perfect crime leads to a guilt, suspicion, duplicity, and thrilling intrigue in a film with numerous switches of sharp and nasty dialogue. “ Paramount shocking suspense- filled masterpiece of love.. and murder” from its opening sequence, the film identifies with the self- destructive murder and his murder plot, using the metaphor of a train ride with the evil heroine that goes” all the way.. to the end of the line. “ its tangling from a poster declared: “You can kiss away a murder”. ( Drinks ). This last review mentioned by Tom Drinks was one of my favorites because the way he describes the film in in own perspective of how thee planning of the murder and how things don’t always happen how they are planned.
So Phyllis' character was wearing a wig? i knew it looked unappealing. Well she actually wasn't as attracted as i pictured her while reading the novel. Especially since the Lola they casted was so pretty. Though the film had some good reviews, i feel like the adaptation of it wasn't up to par as the novel. The scenes and situations seemed a little rushed and straight to the point. But that's how all films are compared to the novel.
