double indemnity

Well it's her most celebrated role and best-known film, yes. And she's brilliant in it, despite that unflattering blonde wig.

But Stanwyck deserves a top ten, and I'll list ten memorable movies not including DI.

Ball of Fire
The Lady Eve
The Bitter Tea of General Yen
The Miracle Woman
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
Stella Dallas
Night Nurse
Baby Face
The Man with a Cloak
Executive Suite

I'll have to check some of these out.

Months ago I watched Double Indemnity for the first time and enjoyed it. Last night I started watching Annie Oakley from 1935. She's quite young in that one, but very good in the role.

I'll have to look those up on online.

I've seen four of her films now and she was great in all of them.

Double Indemnity
The Woman in Red
Christmas in Connecticut
My Reputation
