This is my double Indemnity film review page, i have used the same basic format and design and just changed all the details - this is as if it was just another review off of the site "ELLENBRADFORDMEDIAREVIEWS.CO.UK" because i really like the way it looks. It is hard to get all the information of the plot in to such a small space, however i didn't want it too long because i would want a reader to want to read the review - and if there was too much writing most people wouldn't bother. I found from my research that most reviews online are quite short and snappy specifically because of this reason.Writing from my review that you may not be able to read:
Plot:
Walter Neff (MacMurray) is a successful insurance salesman, he speaks into a Dictaphone, clearly hurt – he is explaining his actions when the movie turns into a flash back.
Neff meets sultry temptress Phyllis (Stanwyck) when he tries to sell her husband car insurance, things quickly turn mysterious as Phyllis tries to take out life insurance for her husband without
him knowing – she is planning to murder him. There is then an unlikely whirlwind romance between the pair and Neff agrees to help murder his new loves husband and trick his boss. Things spiral as people become suspicious of the death of Mr. Dietrichson, Phyllis isn’t as loved up as she seems and they both pay a heavy price in the end.
Review:
Probably one of the most authentic and conventional movies from the film noir genre, this unrelenting cynical film gives the performance of Macmurray’s and Stanwyck’s careers and will no doubt catapult them into stardom. Stanwyck turns from pretty actress in previous films to a
red hot steaming sexy siren as Phyllis Dietrichson, seducing not only main character Walter Neff, but the audience as well. Writers/Directors Wilder and Chandler have really packed this movie with intense cliff hangers and a strong air of sexual tension, it really has every evil attraction and film noir punch that 1940’s film making would have to offer. A really good and interesting
watch, you will be surprised about who you route for in the end.
-I really like my review of this film because it captures the readers imagination and really makes them interested about the film. It also has a personal touch to it which i like to add to all of my writing, i think this suits the type of review website that it is (ellenbradfordreviews) as it shows that its not just cold hard facts, it will give the reader and actual flavour to the film they are planning to watch :)
