    • TV & Film

A new book by film historians James Ursini and Alain Silver titled “From the Moment They Met It Was Murder: Double Indemnity and the Rise of Film Noir” gets into one of Hollywood’s most influential works, the true crime drama “Double Indemnity.” Ursini and Silver helped chronicle the film’s origins, from the 1927 “crime of the century” it's based on and the motifs that would eventually inspire generations. What better way to reboot our FilmWeek screening series than to talk about this iconic Hollywood throwback with authors who understand and one of our beloved critics? For this week’s feature, Larry returns with our live screening series, joined by LAist film critic Claudia Puig and book authors Ursini and Silver.
