[edit] Comment

I don't see how this could ever fit in but there is a nice comment in Some Dreamers of a Golden Dream which appears in Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion (Joan Didion 1968 ISBN 0140037438), she is describing the San Bernardino valley, east of San Francisco and says:

"This is the country in which a belief in the literal interpretation of Genisis has slipped impercerceptiby into a belief in the literal interpretation of Double Indemnity . . ."

[edit] Writing credits

"Three of a Kind" is not the title of a single novella, but the title of the collection of three novellas which contained the original Double Indemnity, so I've changed the writing credits here to reflect that.

[edit] Woody Allen's greatest.

I thought I remembered having this discussion before, but perhaps I'm suffering from deja vu. The closest thing I have really found from what seemed to be a credible source was him saying that it was "Billy Wilder's best movie... practically anybody's best movie." [1] Other than that, it has been shown on IMDB and rotton tomatoes, and I don't know how reliable those are. I am yet to find a primary source though. I'll keep checking. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 19:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, more: I found "Double Indemnity is one of my all-time favourite films..." [2]. I found another secondary source for his "greatest ever" line, but nothing substantial yet. But I don't doubt we can agree that he really, really likes it. ;-) Perhaps more to come later. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 20:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Double indemnity.jpg

Image:Double indemnity.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
