With only his third film as director, Billy Wilder made an all-time classic: “Double Indemnity.” But it wasn’t easy. He had to do it without his writing partner, Charles Brackett. And he had to overcome the film censors who declared James M. Cain’s novel unfilmable.

For his second movie, Billy Wilder made a hard turn away from fluffy comedy and set his sights not only on the action genre, but also on the burgeoning war occurring across the ocean. His sophomore effort may not be as well-known as his later works, but it's a critical entry in his career--and it's also one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite movies!
