REVIEWS:

"The cooling system in the Paramount Theatre was supplemented
yesterday by a screen attraction designed plainly to freeze the
marrow in an audience's bones. 'Double Indemnity' is its title,
and the extent of its refrigerating effect depends upon one's
personal repercussion to a long dose of calculated suspense. For
the sole question in this picture is whether Barbara Stanwyck and
Fred MacMurray can kill a man with such cool and artistic deception
that no one will place the blame on them and then maintain their
composure under Edward G. Robinson's studiously searching eye. ....
The performance of Mr. Robinson...is a fine bit of characterization. ....
As a matter of fact, Mr. Robinson is the only one you care two
hoots for in the film. The rest are just neatly carved pieces
in a variably intriguing crime game."
