Double Indemnity
 
After signing a double indemnity insurance policy, Mr. Dietrichson (Tom Powers) becomes suspiciously accident-prone. The muder/fraud scheme is actually concocted by his femme fatale wife Phyllis (Barbara Stanwyck) who tricks a slick insurance agent, Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), into assisting her evil plot. That is, until claims manager Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) gets a whiff of the plan and pursues them. This Billy Wilder-directed film was also nominated for six Academy Awards.
