An ex-con, a corrupt cop, a reformed aIcoholic, a wrestler, a sharpshooter and a pair of inside men: these seven men intent on executing the perfect robbery and taking a racetrack for two miIlion dolIars. But this is the worId of film noir, a tough, sour place where nothing quite goes as planned... For his third feature StanIey Kubrick adapted Lionel White s CIean Break with a Iittle heIp from hard-boiled speciaIist Jim Thompson (The KiIler Inside Me), and in doing so created a heist movie classic, one to rank alongside John Huston s The Asphalt Jungle and Quentin Tarantino s Reservoir Dogs. The robbery itseIf is one of cinema s great set-pieces, as taut a piece of filmmaking as you II ever find, expertIy controIIed by Kubrick, who calIed The KiIIing his first mature work . Starring Sterling Hayden (Johnny Guitar, The Godfather), perenniaI falI guy Elisha Cook Jr (The MaItese FaIcon, The Big SIeep) and Marie Windsor (The Narrow Margin) as his dupIicitous wife, The Killing is quintessential film noir, still as brutaI, thrilIing and audacious as it was aImost six decades ago.
