Double Indemnity (Channel 5 Wednesday at 3:30 a.m.): Here is the late Barbara Stanwyck at her very best as a hard-boiled platinum blonde seducing Fred MacMurray into getting rid of her husband. Billy Wilder directed and collaborated with Raymond Chandler in adapting the James M. Cain novel. (2:30)

Targets (TMC Thursday at 2:30 p.m.): Peter Bogdanovich’s imaginative 1968 debut film contrasts the personal, stylish kind of screen horror represented by Boris Karloff (who in effect plays his charming, gallant self) and that of the impersonal mass killer. (1:30)

The Nutty Professor (Showtime Thursday at 5:30 p.m.): Jerry Lewis’ 1963 variation on the Jekyll-Hyde motif remains one of his very best comedies. Stella Stevens is his sexy, endearing leading lady. (1:47)

The Brothers Mozart (Bravo Thursday at 11 p.m.): With crackling wit and zest, this 1986 Swedish film raises the question: How do you make the classics come alive and still be true to their spirit? Etienne Glaser stars as a director who has drastic answers to that question in his attempt to do a fresh staging of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni.” (2:00)
