Kubrick - The Killing
anybody ever see this movie? its an old Kubrick movie from 1956, about some guys that pull off a heist at a racetrack. I saw part of it this morning and its coming on again right now.
the ractrack scenes are hilarious as is their plot. their diversion is having a guy with a rifle shoot the favorite in the big stakes race on the far turn. just noticed that it was filmed at Bay Meadows.

It's terrific. Kubrik's take on the 'caper' film. Sterling Hayden and many familiar character actors from the era.

That's what surprised me, to know that Kubrick had done a caper flick in his early years. Sterling Hayden was good as Johnnie and the narration gave it a Dragnet feel. Released during the age when Hitchcock ruled, I could definitely sense a Hitchcock influence.
Watched it last night back to back with 2001- A Space Odyssey. Its hard to believe those two movies came out a mere 12 years apart.
