Episode 11 contains a short biography of noted mystery writer James Mallahan Cain (1892 - 1977) along with a general summary of his books published in paperback. The second half of the show is a discussion with regular guest, Richard Brewer, on Cain's masterpiece - Double Indemnity. In addition to discussing the book, we also compare it to the brilliant film adaptation of the novel directed by Billy Wilder in 1943.

Double Indemnity is a 1944 film noir from director Billy Wilder. The writing process for this flick proved to be quite the double-teaming, with Wilder partnering with hardboiled author Raymond Chandler to pen the thriller. The story is based on the 1943 novella by James M. Cain. 

The central story is a noir classic: a sultry femme fatale teams up with a dupe working as an insurance salesman to kill her husband. Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanywck as the main murderous duo. But can they get away with murder with a dogged claims adjuster portrayed by Edward G. Robinson on the case?

Áine and Kevin are here to dole out a lump sum of compliments to this excellent noir, and discuss what makes this film a double dose of cynicism and heartbreak.
