A pair of Barbara Stanwyck-driven classics. 'Double Indemnity' is the classic 1943 adaptation of James M. Cain's hardboiled noir novel by director Billy Wilder and writer Raymond Chandler. Insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) calls at the house of femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson (Stanwyck) in order to renew her husband's insurance policy. An immediate attraction sparks between the two, and gradually Phyllis seduces Walter into conspiring with her to murder her husband, now provided with a double indemnity insurance clause. The murder is carried out as planned, but the couple then find themselves growing increasingly suspicious of each other as they get closer to collecting the money. In 'All I Desire' (1953), Stanwyck stars as Naomi Murdoch, a small-time girl made good on the big stage. Having run off to join the threatre, abandoning her family in the process, an offer (made by her daughter) to return and star in a local school production is difficult to say the least. Her return opens a powder-keg of dormant emotions and old prejudice.
