MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Yes, I killed him. I killed him for money —and a woman— and I didn't get the money and I didn't get the woman. Pretty, isn't it?”

How evil is Walter Neff. He kills Phyllis, when even SHE didn’t have it in her to finish the job of killing him. Wow.

I really like Jean Heather’s performance as Lola Dietrichson. Who couldn’t feel sorry for those big sad eyes?

Hey Douglas Spencer as Lou the office mate. He played the intrepid reporter fighting the “Thing From Another World” and the callous alien leader of Metaluna in “This Island Earth!”

Keyes wrapping up his epic takedown of the failson insurance exec with “And now you haven’t got a leg to stand on” is a brilliant reference to the murder victim.

Wait, Phyllis drives off and leaves the garage door open?
Oh, maybe someone on the film crew will close it for her.

What they did to the rounded arch garage doors is a crime heinous enough for Phyllis Dietrichson.

As Neff says, he didn’t get the money, and he didn’t get the girl. The ONLY thing he CAN get at this point is the satisfaction of stumping Barton Keyes.

When you think about, Walter Neff recording the story of how he “beat” Keyes only makes sense if 1) Neff really thinks he’s gonna escape to Mexico, and 2j Neff was REALLY motivated by the desire to fool his mentor.
