The Killing (Criterion Collection)

Classic caper drama that established director Stanley Kubrick has Sterling Hayden assembling a motley crew to knock off a racetrack. Kubrick's tight, claustrophobic camera work (done in part to hide the film's shoestring budget) and fine supporting turns by Elisha Cook Jr., Ted de Corsia, Marie Windsor, and Timothy Carey make this a film noir favorite. 85 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English PCM mono; featurette; interviews; theatrical trailers. Also includes the bonus feature "Killer's Kiss" (1955).
