The Killing-Classic Film Noir From Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick’s “The Killing” has to be one of my all time favorite noir films. It’s rich with plot line, great character actors, and some non-intentional kitchy moments.
Johnny Clay has a plan. After spending 5 years in Alcatraz, he decides that if he's going to commit crimes, the risk had better be worth the punishment. He then proceeds to mastermind a brilliant criminal scheme to steal $2,000,000 from a local racetrack in which "no one will get hurt." The only flaw in his plan is that he does not consider one of his co-horts' greedy, shrewish wife and her ruthless boyfriend. That's when something goes wrong...
I was pleasantly surprised to find the entire film posted on YouTube in eight parts.
Tune In & Enjoy!
