Double Indemnity is a 1973 American made-for-television crime film directed by Jack Smight and starring Richard Crenna, Lee J. Cobb, Robert Webber and Samantha Eggar. It was a remake of Double Indemnity (1944) based on the film rather than the original novel.

Plot

A scheming wife lures an insurance salesman into helping murder her husband and then declare it an accident. The salesman's boss, not knowing his man is involved in it, suspects murder and sets out to prove it.

Cast

Production

Producer Charles Egelman got Steven Bochco to update the film but did not substantially change it. They showed the script to Billy Wilder who gave his approval.[1]

Reception

The New York Times said the film "amounts to a flattish copy".[2]
