The Killing

The Kulturecast kicks off Stanley Kubrick Month with a look at the famed auteur's freshman film The Killing. The film stars Sterling Hayden and a veritable cast of characters that are caught up in Hayden's plot to rip off a horse racing track for millions of dollars. While the attempt goes sideways, the film is one of Kubrick's finest and one that still stands up as a prime example of the director's impressive abilities. Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to talk about the film, whether it's noir or not, and the legendary character actor Timothy Carey.
