I am looking for a review of the Double Idemnity DVD. Is it worth purchasing?

Double Indemnity is what it is on DVD, a classic of Film noir. I bought the film because I had to watch it for class. However, there are no special features to be found except a FEW chapter stops and full frame image (if I remember correctly). Not a cheap disc either, so stay away unless you absolutely must have it for the film

Here is a brief review of the "Double Indemnity" disc that I posted here several months ago:

This DVD is disappointing. Owned by Universal but distributed by Image, it is featureless and though the picture quality is better (much much sharper) than that of the video, it is still inexcusably grainy. The mono soundtrack suffices; the dialogue is all crisp. "Double Indemnity," like "Touch of Evil," which should arrive on DVD (as a CE) this fall, deserves the Collector's Edition treatment.

Please Note that the "Touch of Evil" disc is now postponed indefinitely.

BTW, unless you are a fan of "Double Indemnity" and watch it frequently (as do I) you might want to pass on buying this.

Thanks for the info. I am a big fan of the movie, and have seen it at Virgin for around 14 dollars. Even though there are no extras on it, for 14 bucks, it seems worth it.
