Even more infos on Second to Die
(February 14, 2001) In the film noir and psychological thriller tradition of such great films as Double Indemnity, Body Heat and House of Games, George Morgan has brought the screenplay version of his stage play Second To Die to the silver screen.
Starring academy award winner Paul Winfield (Sounder, Star Trek; The Wrath of Khan, Terminator), academy award winner Margaret Avery (The Color Purple), Erika Eleniak (E.T., The Beverly Hillbillies, Under Siege), and John Shipp (Dawson's Creek), Second To Die has been described as "Double Indemnity on steroids".
When middle-class housewife Sara Mayfield grows tired of being middle-class, she plots the "accidental" demise of her husband to cash in on his two million dollar life insurance policy. But afterwards, when she submits the insurance claim, Sara discovers nothing is as it seems, and her carefully laid plans quickly spiral out of control.
