Kathy Cody in Double Indemnity (1973)
« on: April 10, 2007, 09:45:13 PM »
Greetings Cousins,

Last weekend I checked out from the Library the new (released August of '06) two-disc release of the 1944 classic Double Indemnity.  I was quite surprised to learn that the set included a 1973 TV-movie remake (of whose existence I had previously been unaware), and even more surprised to find "Kathleen Cody" in the role of Samantha Eggar's stepdaughter, Lola.

Cody has, I think, three scenes in the movie.  The final one makes the biggest splash.  I still find her an irritatingly one-note performer, but for those who admire her work, they'll want to check this out.

Just make sure to watch the original first, if you haven't seen it yet, it's one of the greats. The made for TV remake on the bonus disc is crap.
