Insurable Interest

Episode 3 of Insurable Interest reviews Double Indemnity (1944) from an insurance point of view. Times have changed, but not that much; murder is still murder, and putting ketchup on a hot dog is still totally unacceptable.

Where to watch Double Indemnity:

• Available to rent or buy on Amazon Video
• Available to rent or buy on the iTunes Store

The Run-down on Double Indemnity:

Somewhat surprisingly, I don't think there are any insured losses in this entire film.
