Day 9 of The Daily Dish: The Big Kahuna!

The topic for Day 9 of The Daily Dish is Favorite Noir. I’ll give you three chances to guess what mine is, and the first two don’t count! Without question or hesitation, Double Indemnity (1944) will forever be my favorite noir – the one I’ve watched the most, the one I can quote the best, the one I’d recommend to any noir novice. It’s just perfect, for my money. It’s got an opening that grabs you with a vise-like grip, standout performances from stars Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, and Edward G. Robinson, first-rate writing, a perfect ending, and enough noir tropes to satisfy any fan, from the voiceover narration, to the flashbacks, to my favorite femme fatale, Phyllis. I can never see it enough – it’s just sheer noir perfection. And what’s YOUR favorite noir? Leave a comment and share with the group – and join me tomorrow for Day 10 of The Daily Dish, when I’ll take a look at Favorite Noir Duo!! See you then!
