Many cinephiles may be unaware that stars Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray made three other films together besides Double Indemnity (my next TCM recommendation reviewed here): http://thecinemacafe.com/the-cinema-treasure-hunter/2013/9/20/opening-up-a-treasure-2-double-indemnity namely: Remember the Night (a previous pick of the month), The Moonlighter (Roy Rowland's serviceable but undistinguished western) and There's Always Tomorrow (Douglas Sirk's moving melodrama).
The duo’s on screen relationships brought to mind something Fred MacMurray said about working with his famous co-star: “I was lucky enough to make four pictures with Barbara. In the first I turned her in, in the second I killed her, in the third I left her for another woman and in the fourth I pushed her over a waterfall. The one thing all these pictures had in common was that I fell in love with Barbara Stanwyck… and I did, too.”
By far their most famous union was in Double Indemnity, the next film to be doubly featured in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley Saturday, December 29 at 9pm PST and again on Sunday, December 30 at 7am PST.
