Synopsis

This is a classic film noir that begins with a murder confession. Fred MacMurray plays Walter Neff, and he’s come to his office to record what he’s done and how he’s done it.

Edward G. Robinson is Byron Keyes, an insurance claims manager that works with Walter and knows that something is not right with the "accident" the husband had, and begins an investigation.
