Double insurance

Double insurance.
This is one of the greatest noir films. The film is full of suspense and performs well, but the most important thing is its style, that is, the noir style. Whether it is the shadowy blinds or the self-deprecating monologue, they will have a long-lasting impact on the future of suspense movies. The film adopts a first-person narrative, making the film a relatively complete history of the torment of a fallen man, looking at the American reality before and after the war in a calm and indifferent manner.
------For the classics, you can only quote the classics! Of course, I am more concerned about the fraud and defense methods of that era! Isn’t there a remake of this film? No matter from which point of view, the deception methods designed at that time are still used in the world!
I checked it, and it turned out that the TV version of "Double Compensation" is only a boring color remake. The sound and picture are average, and the picture is 3/4 ratio. The actors can’t compare with the original.

    Noir Film Festival@Hong Kong Film Archive Cinema The plot and performances are excellent, and the heroine's several performances at key plot points are very exciting. The rhythm is well controlled and the lines are very interesting. In addition, it is worth mentioning the narrative structure of this film. Most of the plots use a straightforward method, which seems too simple and without skills, but actually enables the audience to understand the story structure very clearly, and makes the The twists thrown at the most critical places are more shocking, which is actually worth learning from many suspenseful movies with chaotic narrative structure and the murderer's confession and storytelling in the middle of the story.
