Gender Representation in "Double Indemnity"

In Double Indemnity women are shown in a negative light. They are sexualised, The first time that we see Phyllis Dietrichson see is waering nothing but a towel and she is sexually objectified the angle at which Walter is standing means that he could easily see up the towel because she is exposed. They are also shown to be vulnerable she talks of how she is a victim of domestic violence (her husband beats her).
Men are shown to be powerful and lustful in the first scenes of the film we see him driving his car at high speeds and ignoring traffic lights, this suggest that he has power to do as he wishes. He is also shown to be lustful when ghe speaks of how much he wanted to see Mrs Dietrichson he lusts after her even though she is a married woman.
