They don’t make them like they used to, Readers. This noir classic by Billy Wilder has a husky-voiced blondie, that guy from Five Star Final, and…insurance fraud. It’s all that a moviegoer could possibly want, in less than two hours! Insurance Salesman Neff gets mixed up with a married woman and has to decide whether to risk his career, his financial status, and his legal status to satisfy her craving for a dead husband. Given his own experience in the insurance game, Neff gets a lot of ideas and gets very hot for the married lady with the distracting anklet.
