Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The extensive use of lighting and mise-en-scene cues in depicting an insurance salesman who is trapped by a murderous femme fatale are hallmarks of Double Indemnity, a classic film noir directed by Billy Wilder. Mildred Pierce is also a film noir, but it does not feature the same level of lighting and mise-en-scene cues to the extent that Double Indemnity does. Touch of Evil and The Palm Beach Story are also film noirs, but they do not feature an insurance salesman trapped by a murderous femme fatale.
