Sterben… und leben lassen

Big Trouble is a 1986 American comedy film and the last film for director John Cassavetes. The cast reunites Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, costars of The In-Laws, and also features Beverly D'Angelo, Charles Durning and Valerie Curtin.

The film's plot is so similar to that of Double Indemnity that, prior to production, Columbia Pictures requested that Universal Pictures (rightsholder for Double Indemnity) grant a license to reuse the plot of the earlier film. Universal executive Frank Price, who had previously worked at Columbia, was aware that Columbia was holding onto a script called Back to the Future and made a deal to take ownership of the script.[1]
