Film Noir Series THE KILLING
July 17

Sterling Hayden stars in Stanley Kubrick's 1956 crime noir classic based on Lionel White's novel “Clean Break.”  Hayden plays Johnny Clay, an ex-con with a plan to steal $2 million from a San Francisco racetrack.
           
Featuring  flawless direction and the wonderfully atmospheric photography of a very young Kubrick, and anchored by a jazz-tinged score by Gerald Fried, “The Killing” is one of the most intense noir heist films ever made. 

“Even though he was just starting out, Kubrick instantly mastered the crime genre. A stunning film.”  Empire Magazine
