Have you considered the hysterical scene from George Axelrod's HOW TO
MURDER YOUR WIFE (Richard Quine, 1965) in which Eddie Mayehoff, who
plays Jack Lemmon's lawyer, is cross-examined on the witness stand by
Lemmon?  Although not directly about insurance, Mayehoff is quite proud
of the fact that he does "carry a lot of life insurance."
 
A liitle more to the point is THE FORTUNE COOKIE (Billy Wilder, 1966),
also with Lemmon.
 
Cheers,
