Movie Book Club: Double Indemnity

Tuesday, November 19 at 7 PM

“If you like your dialogue hardboiled, your lighting shadowy, and your femmes fatales preposterously evil, then look no further: Billy Wilder’s 1944 adaptation of James M Cain’s insurance-scam novella.“
— Andrew Pulver, Guardian

KPAC and BookPeople present DOUBLE INDEMNITY as part of our Movie Book Club series. Has dialogue ever been more perfectly hard-boiled? Has a femme fatale ever been as deliciously wicked as Barbara Stanwyck? And has 1940s Los Angeles ever looked so seductively sordid? Working with cowriter Raymond Chandler, director Billy Wilder launched himself onto the Hollywood A-list with this epitome of film-noir fatalism from James M. Cain’s pulp novel.

Each Double Indemnity book purchased at BookPeople will include a free ticket to see the film at Kenworthy Theatre. Plus, get 20% off the book if you see the film and then decide to read the book afterward!
