NRPL Film Series: THE KILLING (1956)

Aided by a radically time-shuffling narrative, razor-sharp dialogue from pulp novelist Jim Thompson, and a phenomenal cast of character actors, Stanley Kubrick’s tale of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywood’s tautest, twistiest noirs. Starring Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Vince Edwards; Directed by Stanley Kubrick – 84 mins.
