Paul And Corey Cross The Streams

This month, Paul and Corey are talking about film noir. Its preoccupations and tropes. Its themes and style. This week, Paul chose a true classic, Double Indemnity (1944). PACCTS' second Billy Wilder film, Double Indemnity established so much of what one imagines when they hear "film noir." Paul and Corey discuss the Hays Code, Wilder's work with co-writer Raymond Chandler, and the subversive queer themes that Wilder elicited in this and other films.
