Double Indemnity (Paramount, 1944)... (3 items)

Description

Double Indemnity (Paramount, 1944) Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14"). Life insurance. The idea was simple enough; when you died, your beneficiaries would be compensated for their loss of your income. It was also an e-ticket for a family member with big ideas to send you on a one-way trip to the big sleep. Director Billy Wilder used James M. Cain's famous novel as the basis for this seminal film noir. However, the screenplay was written by the leading noir author of the era, Raymond Chandler. No one could ever match Chandler's dialogue, and the result was a legendary film that was nominated for Best Picture. Offered in this lot are three lobby cards from this set. The beautiful portrait card of Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck has had slight restoration work to corner pinholes and one small border chip. The other two cards have multiple pinholes in the corners and borders and small corner creases. Fine/Very Fine.
