SYNOPSIS
Director Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler (Creator of the ultimate private investigator, Philp Marlowe – ‘The Big Sleep’, ‘Farewell My Lovely’), adapted James M. Cain’s hard-boiled novel into this dark film noir. Insurance investigator Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) plans the perfect murder with the beautiful Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck): murder Dietrichson’s husband and make off with the insurance money. But, of course, things never quite go as planned and Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) is the wily insurance investigator’s boss who has a feeling that not all is as it seems.
