Name the 1944 film noir masterpiece directed by Billy Wilder and marketed with the no-so-subtle line "From the moment they met it was murder."

Based on James M. Cain's 1943 novel of the same title and co-written by Wilder and author Raymond Chandler, Double Indemnity was a hit with critics and earned seven Academy Award nominations (though it didn't win any). The story focuses on an insurance salesman, a femme fatale accused of killing her husband, and a suspicious claims adjuster. The title comes from a life insurance term that provides double the payout — as long as the death is accidental, that is.
