Apology for Murder

Apology for Murder is a 1945 film noir, a version of the plot of the previous year's Double Indemnity which is a better movie than this. This is barely over an hour long, so you won't lose much by having this on. That said, this plot is so much like Double Indemnity that I didn't finish it. It's directed by Sam Newfield and stars Ann Savage, Hugh Beaumont, Russell Hicks, and Charles D. Brown.



TCM has a plot synopsis and other information.

    1. Ah, Hugh Beaumont's film career is often overlooked.

  2. I like Double Indemnity so even though it is similar, it might be worth the watch. Happy weekend!

    1. It is quite similar. It just hadn't been that long since I'd seen Double Indemnity.

  3. I'm not sure I'll watch this, since I'm running so far behind. I'm still trying to play catch up and still want to watch An Inspector Calls from back in early January.
