5 out of 10 a real "classic"

(Billy Wilder is involved)...the story is great...the actors are magnificent... its one of the all time great movies that you can watch again and again because there are no gimmicks... its just a simple, but brilliantly portrayed, story based on human emotions (mostly greed) that have been around since time began, presented in the style of the time, and you get to learn something about the insurance business into the bargain
