A 1944 [[Film Noir]], directed by [[Billy Wilder]], written by him and [[Raymond Chandler]], and adapted from [[James M. Cain]]'s earlier novel of the same title., '''''Double Indemnity''''' is Consideredconsidered by many to be ''the'' definitive [[Film Noir]], and the popularizer of many of its tropes.
 
Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) is a successful but bored insurance salesman who encounters Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) when he comes to her house to discuss automobile insurance. After the two have traded some innuendo-laden banter, Phyllis reveals that her marriage is not a particularly happy one and the pair end up conspiring to trick her husband into taking out an accident insurance policy -- and ensure that he then meets a tragic "accidental" end.
