Double Indemnity - 1944

Body Heat - 1981

These two 20th-century Hollywood movies have similar plot-lines - both excellently atmospheric, with great background music.

Music for Body Heat was by UK composer John Barry.  

The music in Double Indemnity was created by Miklos Rozsa.

        During World War II, in the years when the Nazis occupied France, no Hollywood films were allowed to be shown there.

        In 1946 Nino Frank, an Italian-French film critic and writer, began to see American movies for the first time in several years, since Germany had been defeated and France was again a free nation.

        Mr. Frank coined the phrase, "film noir" to describe movies like Double Indemnity.  And it would go for Body Heat, too.

        Double Indemnity is currently available to view with Amazon Prime.
