DOUBLE INDEMNITY, one of the greatest film noir movies of all time, celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. Cameron Crowe, who has published a highly regarded book of conversations with the film's director, Billy Wilder, believes the film is also one of the "sexiest noirs" of all time. In this exclusive clip from the AFI Archive, watch Crowe support that claim while talking about Barbara Stanwyck's famous anklet and the dialogue which, at times, is a bombardment of provocative double entendres.
