"The Killing":
Stanley Kubrick's account of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywoods tautest, twistiest noirs. Aided by a radically time-shuffling narrative, razor-sharp dialogue from pulp novelist Jim Thompson, and a phenomenal cast of character actors, including Sterling Hayden (Dr. Strangelove), Coleen Gray (Red River), Timothy Carey (Paths of Glory), and Elisha Cook Jr. (The Maltese Falcon), The Killing is both a jaunty thriller and a cold-blooded punch to the gut. And with its precise tracking shots and gratifying sense of irony, its Kubrick to the core.
Plus Bonus 2nd feature:
"Killer's Kiss":
Stanley Kubrick fans will adore the masterful composition of "Killer's Kiss" - an inexpensive Film-Noir gem made for a night out at the Drive-in theatre. Davy Gordon (Jamie Smith) is a boxer who is past his prime. His sexy neighbor Gloria Price (Irene Kane) is a for-hire-by-lonely-men dancer (how 'Noir' can you get?). After a recent tough loss in the ring, Davy decides to move to his uncle's farm in Seattle, and put his hand to horses. Voyeuristically peering through his apartment window he spies Gloria in a bind. Stepping in is imperative and it becomes the story of the film.
