I wanted to see her
again, up close, without that silly staircase between us.”

This week the Los Angeles Times is running a photo feature on the redesigned interior of the 1927 Spanish Colonial that starred as the home of married-but-seeking-divorce-by-homicide Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) in Billy Wilder’s classic film noir, Double Indemnity.
The original foyer was recreated as a stage set for the film. The home is now owned by interior designer Mae Brunken (who has also worked as a set decorator) who has revamped the Hollywood Hills home in true glam 1930s and 40s style, with a few refreshing modern touches.
