Apology for Murder
Apology for Murder is a 1945 American film noir directed by Sam Newfield and starring Ann Savage, Hugh Beaumont, Russell Hicks and Charles D. Brown.
The plot of" Apology for Murder" is a blatant rip-off of the seminal film noir" Double Indemnity" which was released the previous year.
The production company Producers Releasing Corporation, one of the B movie studios of Hollywood ’s Poverty Row, wanted to take advantage of" Double Indemnity's" huge success and originally intended to call the film" Single Indemnity".
However Paramount Pictures, the production company of" Double Indemnity", got wind of it and obtained an injunction.
PRC then changed the title to" Apology for Murder".
Much acclaimed B movie director Edgar G. Ulmer, who was working at PRC at the time" Apology for Murder" was made, claimed during a conversation with Peter Bogdanovich that he wrote the original" Single Indemnity" script for producer Sigmund Neufeld.
However, he erroneously believed that the film made from it was finally released under the title" Blonde Ice", which is a totally different film produced by Film Classics.

Double Indemnity (film)
Double Indemnity is a 1944 film noir directed by Billy Wilder, co-written by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, and produced by Buddy DeSylva and Joseph Sistrom.
The screenplay was based on James M. Cain's 1943 novella of the same name, which originally appeared as an eight- part serial in" Liberty" magazine, beginning in February 1936.
The film stars Fred MacMurray as an insurance salesman, Barbara Stanwyck as a provocative housewife who wishes her husband were dead, and Edward G. Robinson as a claims adjuster whose job is to find phony claims.
The term" double indemnity" refers to a clause in certain life insurance policies that doubles the payout in rare cases when the death is accidental, such as falling off a train.
Praised by many critics when first released," Double Indemnity" was nominated for seven Academy Awards but did not win any.
Widely regarded as a classic, it often is cited as having set the standard for film noir.
Deemed" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1992," Double Indemnity" was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
In 1998, it was ranked No. 38 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 best American films of all time, and in 2007 it placed 29th on their 10th Anniversary list.
Wilder considered" Double Indemnity" his best film in terms of having the fewest scripting and shooting mistakes and always maintained that the two things he was proudest of in his career were the compliments he received from Cain about" Double Indemnity" and from Agatha Christie for his handling of her" Witness for the Prosecution".
The Fifth Musketeer
The Fifth Musketeer is a 1979 German- Austrian film adaptation of the last section of the novel by Alexandre Dumas, père, which is itself based on the French legend of the Man in the Iron Mask.

It was directed by Ken Annakin, and stars Beau Bridges as the twins( Louis XIV and Philippe of Gascony), Sylvia Kristel as Maria Theresa, Ursula Andress as Louise de La Vallière, Cornel Wilde as d' Artagnan, Ian McShane as Fouquet, Rex Harrison as Colbert( Philippe's tutor), and Lloyd Bridges, José Ferrer and Alan Hale Jr. as the Three Musketeers.
Olivia de Havilland made a cameo appearance as the Queen Mother.
This was de Havilland's final theatrical film.
The cinematographer was Jack Cardiff.
In what may have been an instance of stunt casting, Alan Hale Jr. played the same character, Porthos, that his lookalike father, Alan Hale Sr., did in 1939's" The Man in the Iron Mask".
