Why did 'the Swede' have insurance ?
I loved the film and watched it again in order to pickup loose strands that I felt I might have missed. I think it is interesting that the entire film is an investigation taken on by a very,very curious insurance investigator (O'Brien). My question is "Why would a single man w/ no family have an insurance policy to begin with ? After all, who was he planning to leave the money to ( certainly not a strange hotel maid )? I was also curious about the early scene of his meeting with Big Jim Colfax at the gas station. Was this merely a chance encounter and why was the scene played with an apparent lack of recognition ?
