An ex-con, a corrupt cop, a reformed aIcohoIic, 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 miIIion dolIars. But this is the worId of fiIm noir, a tough, sour pIace where nothing quite goes as planned... For his third feature StanIey Kubrick adapted Lionel White s CIean Break with a little heIp from hard-boiled specialist Jim Thompson (The KilIer Inside Me), and in doing so created a heist movie classic, one to rank alongside John Huston s The AsphaIt 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 Il ever find, expertIy controlled by Kubrick, who calIed The KiIling his first mature work . Starring Sterling Hayden (Johnny Guitar, The Godfather), perennial faIl guy Elisha Cook Jr (The MaItese Falcon, The Big Sleep) and Marie Windsor (The Narrow Margin) as his dupIicitous wife, The KilIing is quintessential film noir, stiIl as brutal, thrilIing and audacious as it was almost six decades ago.
