Double Indemnity (1944) - a podcast by Rye Smile Productions

Today we close yet another cask but conclude with a truly great entry in the Film Noir genre, Double Indemnity. Billy Wilder's classic film is the benchmark to which all other film noirs look up to featuring great performances by Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Journey with us as we tackle everything from the casting of the film to its dark themes of betrayal, murder, and romance. Our Flight for the week asks, "What is the most un-orthodox film couple" to go along with the Valentine's Day holiday. Our Nightcap for the week harkens back to noir and the release of the The Batman coming in 2021, "Which villain would you like to see in a noir-driven Batman story." So settle in, relax and take a trip back to 1944 where houses cost $30,000 and you could get a beer at a drive-in. Cheers!
