---------------------------- [excerpt, Woody Allen, by Eric Lax] ------------------ If one movie epitomized his childhood, it is Double Indemnity. "I love it," he says. "It has all the characteristics of the classic forties film as I respond to it.
It's in black and white, it has fast badinage, it's very witty, a story from the great age. It has Edward G. Robinson and Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray and the tough voice-over.
It has brilliantly written dialogue, and the perfect score by Miklos Rozsa. It's Billy Wilder's best movie -- but practically anyone's best movie."
