Written and Directed by Billy Wilder, this 1944 drama stars Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson. I watched it one evening while finishing up other homework. The story was really entertaining and I remember thinking that it reminded me of a more recent movie, but couldn't remember that title. There was a line from Edward G. Robinson's character, Mr. Keyes, that struck me as odd. He leans over Mr. Neff (Fred) and says, "You know why you couldn't figure this one out. Because the guy you were looking for was too close. Right across the desk from you." Keyes responds, "Closer than that," suggesting that Keyes was in on the plot the whole time.
