Remakes

Woody Allen on Double Indemnity:

"It has all the characteristics of the clasic forties film as I respond to it. It's in black and white, it has fast badinage, it's very witty, a story from the classic age. . It has Edward G. Robinson, and Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray and the tough voice-over. It has brilliantly written dialogue, and the perfect score by Miklos Rosza. it's Bily Wilder's best movie . . . practically anybody's best movie."

I saw Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct as playing Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity. And Peter Falk's Columbo was Edward G. Robinson in Double Indemnity.
