The Killing
Stanley Kubrick, 1956, 81 min

“Stanley Kubrick’s account of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywood’s tautest, twittiest 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, Coleen Gray, Timothy Carey, Elisha Cook Jr., and Marie Windsor, The Killing is both a jaunty thriller and a cold-blooded punch to the gut.” – Janus Films
