THE KILLING


 "THE KILLING" --- (1956) --- 

MY THOUGHTS: It shows the diversity in both Kubrick's writing and directing skills. It is, as one would expect, very well-done. It has interesting characters, a great storyline and a cast that truly delivers. This was my first time seeing the film, and it will not be my last!
SYNOPSIS: "Career criminal Johnny Clay recruits a sharpshooter, a crooked police officer, a bartender and a betting teller named George, among others, for one last job before he goes straight and marries his fiancee, Fay. But when George tells his restless wife, Sherry, about the scheme to steal millions from the racetrack where he works, she hatches a plot of her own."
STARRING: Sterling Hayden, Timothy Carey, Joe Sawyer, Ted de Corsia, Coleen Gray, Elisha Cook Jr. and Marie Windsor.
