I review the video history of DOUBLE INDEMNITY which first arrived on tape from Universal in 1987, then I discuss Laserdisc and the various reissues, new masterings, DVD, Blu-ray and finally the 2022 Criterion 4K UHD and Blu-ray combo format release. I cover the best picture source, the best audio source and the extras over the years. Some of these were NOT ported over on the Criterion release.
