similar to... (poss spoilers)


possible spoilers: Soooooo many similarities to Double Indemnity, released six years earlier, also Paramount... but stories are credited to two different authors. Stanwyck also worked with Wendell Corey in Sorry Wrong Number and The Furies.

agree but double indemnity was a much better film overall

fred mcmurray made a much better patsy, plus edward g robinson really how can you compare? oh yeah plotwise....

reply

also, anyone notice similarities to 'body heat?'-1981
duped lawyer, femme fatale, dead relative (husband), florida, changed will, etc.
i think l.kasdan deftly combined 'double indemnity' with 'thelma jordon' to arrive at his film...

reply

Definitely.

I'm sorry but I don't know how it's similar to Double Indemnity. I'm probably whistling Dixie here because your post was four years ago.

Don't be sorry; you're on the money. The people who posted here are totally clueless; there's no similarity between Thelma and Indemnity. As far as the person who claimed that Body Heat was a remake of Thelma, all I can say is "Whoa!". Everyone knows that Body Heat is, in fact, a loose reworking of Double Indemnity.
