In A Lonely Place?

It Happened One Night?

*** The Killing?

* * * SPOILER ALERT * * *

All righty then. It’s The Killing, where a just-released Stirling Hayden is architect of a plan to clean out a racetrack’s cash. Greedy Vargas-girl Marie Windsor cheats on her husband, milquetoast Elisha Cook, by revealing the plan to her lover, Vince Edwards. Needless to say, it does not go well for all concerned, but then, that’s film noir, isn’t it?

*** Not to be confused with The Killers, starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner.
