Read or watch a production of Othello first
Then watch this and you'll appreciate both the movie and the Shakespeare play much more.
I killed him for money and for a woman. I didn't get the money... and I didn't get the woman.
I'm curious what this film would be like for someone not familiar with Shakespeare's play.
BTW: I like your Double Indemnity sig.

It works very well since they understand the film's themes pretty well. Reading Othello of course gives you a better understanding of it.
As for Shakespeare productions I am not sure. It's a pretty difficult play to stage. The proper thing is to see Orson Welles' The Tragedy of Othello but that's not available in a good version save for collectors and archivists and even they have it bad.
