Double Indemnity (Improved)

Double Indemnity by Billy Wilder is a classic example of the Film Noir genre and was originally distributed by Paramount pictures. This film was made in 1944 and was an adaptation from the novel by James M. Cain (written in 1927). Singer Kate Smith ran a campaign against seeing the film on moral grounds. This film was nominated for seven awards (Including best motion picture) but didn't recieve one.

This film can be found on the British Film Institute website.
