Read the novel, Ice? I haven't (not seen the film either), but I read Cain's Double Indemnity, after seeing Wilder's adaptation. I saw it again recently on a big screen and was floored. One of the greatest US films ever made.
Lana Turner gives me shivers.
I'm writing an essay right now, actually, on the articulation of time in noir (narrative evocation of memory/desire, and the void left in the boundary between past/future (does the "present" even exist?)); concentrating on Double Indemnity, The Third Man and The Woman in the Window.
