No. Hell with that. I’ll be Cary Grant, and you can be Eva Marie Saint. Nah. I’ll never be Cary Grant cool. Spencer Tracy schlubby? You betcha.

You could be my Katherine Hepburn, and I’ll be your Spencer Tracy.

Sounds like a plan. I’m aces at memorizing dialogue. Bonus: I am quite the Femme Fatale.

Of course, once everyone got drunk, we’d have to segue into “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, just to make everyone really uncomfortable.

It’s a great film, noir or not. I want to memorize the whole Fred MacMurray part, and just walk around talking like a noir guy. If you memorized Barbara Stanwyck’s parts, we’d be a hit at parties.

I wrote a paper in “History and Cinema” about this film. As my introduction to the ‘noir’ genre I thought it pretty good.

He is amazingly suave and badass. “Shut up, baby.” He nails that line and the others.

It’s free on YouTube, same as “Kiss Me Deadly.” Between the two, definitely go with “Double Indemnity.” Timeless, with some amazing dialogue. Even a *snerk* or two.
