Double Indemnity (1944)
The most fun movie ever made about insurance, this noir extravaganza sizzles off the screen in moments like the anklet scene — aka the “how fast was I going” scene — between Fred McMurray as an insurance man and Barbara Stanwyck as a scheming client.
It never goes too fast, which somehow makes it all the wildly seductive. Just watch.
It inspired many (often color) films, including 1981’s very good Body Heat, but we still prefer the black and white movie.
