This is all wonderful screenwriting (and direction, too, of course), setting up the film's mood and premises dramatically, suspensefully, efficiently. Above all, it tells you what you always want to know as a movie starts out—that you are in good hands, the hands of people who know what they're doing and where they're going.
—Richard Schickel, on the opening sequence of Double Indemnity, in his BFI Film Classics monograph on the film, pp. 39-40
