Currently available at Watch TCM (until February 17th):
If I was in charge of choosing a single film noir for someone only willing to see one in the entire canon, I would select Double Indemnity (1944) as its most fulfilling and accomplished representative. It has been previously reviewed in Opening Up a Treasure: Double Indemnity.

All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.
Hope to see you tomorrow.
