When Insurance meets the Hollywood Spotlight
When we face an unforeseen situation; medical health insurance for instance, acts as the powerful and mighty Wizard of OZ. Yes, it is a substantial investment for everyone, even for those who work at the cine-industry. While we all agreed about its off-screen importance, has insurance managed a catch an on-screen presence?
Top 3 Movies with an Insurance Cameo
George Pelecanos, Emmy-nominated writer and producer says, “By itself, insurance is pretty boring and uncinematic.”Wouldn’t you all agree with MrPelecanos? However, he says that many movies have made in work pretty well in the plot. Here are a few movies that might have done the trick.
1. The Apartment (1960)
Jack Lemmon, who plays Baxter, works at a New York based life and medical insurance company. As he climbs the corporate ladder, he meets Fran played by Shirley MacLaine. And the plot unfolds… What is to be noted is that, this movie came out before the counterculture became popular, making it a class apart. The movie won best picture at the Oscars for Billy Wilder. And we see actors Lemmon and MacMurray in other insurance movies as well!
2. Double Indemnity (1944)
Los Angeles based insurance representative Walter Neff, played by Fred MacMurray, falls in love with Barbara Stanwyck, who plays Phyllis. Phyllis plans to leave her husband for Neff. Together, they trick her husband to get a life insurance policy, and scheme his death. So, Phyllis can get a lump sum under the double indemnity clause. However, their plan does not unfold as predicted. Barton Keyes played Edward Robinson, catches a whiff of foul play and seeks to bring justice for the departed husband. The movie is a masterpiece. And it goes on to shows that fraud always has a way of resurfacing. After watching this movie, you will rest assured about your own life and medical insurance plans.
3. Cedar Rapids (2011)
Ed Helms plays Tim Lippe, who is a small time insurance agent from Iowa. The plot soon questions the integrity of the business showing cases of corruption and mismanagement. However, Lippe, a man of his principles, redeems himself, the profession and the industry. This movie highlights optimistically the good and morals of the insurance industry today. Stating that, there are honest and hardworking agents and companies, working in the life, motor and medical insurance sector. This happy ending for the profession and industry, is worthy of appreciation.
