Richard Crenna

Ted Danson

NOTES This is a clever film for those in the know. The story is from

"Double Indemnity". The style also with borrowings from other

film noir mysteries.

Turner is very much the hussy housewife prototyped by

Barbara Stanwyck who wants her husband killed. William

Hurt is more lackadaisical playing the lawyer that Fred

McMurray insurance salesman. But he's also gullible and a

sucker for Turner's charms. A fair bit of the noir touches are

turned on their head, especially the film's ending.



The technical man involved in a robbery is in a wheelchair.
