I could totally get behind a Double Indemnity/Son of Flubber mashup. When Professor Brainard signs a contract with Yoyodyne Research Labs to develop a Flubber/napalm hybrid, sexpot Keenan Wynn in a dress makes him an offer he can't refuse!

HEISINDC go to the other mexican restaurant, forgot the name but think it may a long one, and order many tapas and different glasses of wine, esp a glass of verdejo by los valdelainos. it has an incredible green apple finish instead of the usual syrupy peach typical of a rueda blanca. muchos buenos!

Rosa Mexicano? Yikes! Two strikes: chain and not worth the price tag. If you're looking for something Latin, choose nearby Cafe Atlantico (good pre-theater menu) or Oyamel instead. Poste and Rasika also have solid pre-theatre offerings in Chinatown. And there's always Chinatown Express.

I know what you mean, MacMurray was the all-knowing dad on My Three Sons, which I am geezerish enough to have watched in reruns. But Double Indemnity plus The Caine Mutiny will convince you of his sleazy side.

I just never believed Fred MacMurray in that role. I just can't not see the absent minded professor or the shaggy dog. I do love how in all those old film noirs, all the women were apparently always one long gaze or scotch on the rocks away from throwing themselves at some dude in a trench coat.

Double Indemnity is classic, mostly because of Raymond Chandler's dialog. "I picked you for the job, not because I think you're so darn smart, but because I thought you were a shade less dumb than the rest of the outfit. Guess I was wrong. You're not smarter, Walter... you're just a little taller."

Double Indemnity at SAAM will be a real treat if you haven't seen it before. Fred MacMurray is super creepy, and the 30something Barbara Stanwyck - hubba hubba!
