We're introducing a new video feature: Classic Viewing, in which I focus on essential films and exhort you to watch them. This week: Double Indemnity, for my money the film noir that matters more than all others. It's one of those movies that long ago entered cinema's DNA, but still maintains its original, tangy flavor. Barbara Stanwyck: never better. Fred MacMurray: prize sucker. Murder. Deceit. Lust. Illicit meetings in L.A. supermarkets. That tears it.
