Grand Performances: Double Indemnity June 25, 2005

Greed and a murderous affair bring Fred McMurray and Barbara Stanwyck together in director Billy Wilder?s classic 1944 archetypal film noir. This brilliantly filmed and incisively written work captures the decayed Los Angeles of a Chandler novel. San Francisco Chronicle book critic and life-long Angeleno David Kipen and special guest will open the evening with a spirited conversation on Los Angeles, the city and its influence on film noir.
