review

Wesley says that double indemnity is a great film but the book was ok he was more impressed with james m cains other work in novels for instance "the post man always rings twice" is one of wesleys favorite ones. James m. Cain  is one of the best neo noir writers but the films come alive. I to think that the film was much better but the book was ok as well. the way james writes his novels he is one of the best  "James M. Cain is one of the indisputable greats of crime noir novels".

what i think

on question one I think that the ending to the film was a lot better than the ending in the novel although I was expecting more of a better ending in the film because of how much I didn't like the ending in the novel I wasn't jumping for joy after I saw the film either I guess since the story it self was so powerful and so just good I was waiting to be left like wow this was a fabulous ending to a fabulous film but I was like um OK better than the book but still not my wow factor. I would have loved to see what Walters fate was and if he ended up in jail or dead after the gun shot. But since i have to choose i would say the ending to the film was better for me because the novel was so confusing i was like what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
question 4 when i read the book i was thinking exactly that they would look that way especially Phyllis i knew that's what she would look like and i think they picked goo actors to play the roles the only one i thought didn't look like the image i had in my head reading the book was Mr keyes i was expecting him to look somewhat like Walter a tall handsome man and instead he was short and frumpy but as far as the rest are concerned they all were exactly what i had pictured in my head.
