EDIT: I'm gonna take a puff each time instead 🤭 #DoubleIndemnity #TCMParty

My No One Asked Top Ten noir femme fatales. Phyllis Dietrichson is my #1. #DoubleIndemnity #TCMParty

If Thelma Ritter were the maid, she'd go to Keyes in a hot minute with the whole thing figured out. #DoubleIndemnity #SummerOfDarkness #NoirAlley #TCMParty

There isn't one. wasted. frame. in #DoubleIndemnity The writing, directing, acting, editing, and art direction each have to be perfect for that to happen #TCMParty

Hearing the line "It must have cost somebody 30,000 bucks" in 21st century California... 😳😳😳 #DoubleIndemnity #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness

"There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff." - Gods, that dialog. All that larceny and lust. #DoubleIndemnity #SummerOfDarkness #TCMParty

One of the great things about #DoubleIndemnity is the dialogue - it crackles. "I always bring my own keys" is a throw away line - yet it reveals a lot about Walter's character IMO. #TCMParty #TheSummerOfDarkness

Suppose it’s time to hit the sack? Nope. Suppose it’s time to watch #DoubleIndemnity. #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness #NoirAlley

#DoubleIndemnity director Billy Wilder said Barbara Stanwyck was his absolute first choice to play the iconic femme fatale. His only mistake - choosing the wig. A studio head said, "We hired Barbara Stanwyck, and here we get George Washington." #SummerOfMadness #TCMParty with Mrs. Dietrichson

Set out the glass of water and the alka seltzer packet on your nightstand now. #DoubleIndemnity #tcmparty

Maltese Falcon followed by Double Indemnity feels downright noir indulgent. #tcmparty

Won't be sticking around for #DoubleIndemnity. (I get a bit nervous during thunderstorms.) But I'll randomly exclaim "baby" to be with you in spirit. #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness
