And that concludes my little lecture-slash-curriculum recommendation, which I feel compelled to deliver about once a year during discussions of Double Indemnity. Oh, and one more little tease: Cain's book concludes with one of the most devastating final pages of any I've ever read (constituting an entirely different denouement from that of the film), ending with only two very simple - and chillingly haunting - words. Oh, I know those final two words so well, doghouse. Chilling, haunting, and at the same time oddly beautiful. I love the truly great film, but I confess I probably love the novel more. Hard to even say those words, but I think they are true. |
