Double Indemnity / Old Grand-Dad 114

Film And Whiskey - A podcast by Bob Book and Brad Gee - Tuesdays

Categories:

Bob and Brad throw it back to 1944 for the Billy Wilder classic Double Indemnity. This is their second Wilder film and their first true film noir. Aside from breaking down the excellent performances by Feed MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson, they spend some time on Wilder as both director and screenwriter, before diving into a discussion of what exactly constitutes "film noir." 

Meanwhile, they finish out the extraordinarily underwhelming Old Grand-Dad line with the 114-proof expression.
