Noir-vember Week 2 The Killing (1956)

Join us for Noir-vember! WEEK 2 THE KILLING (1956)

Noir-vember is a mini noir film festival at the Mt Lebanon Public Library over three weeks in November.

Come to one, or come to multiple screenings.

The Killing (1956) Directed by a 28-year-old Stanley Kubrick, and starring Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, and Vince Edwards. A noir with a heist. Career crook Johnny Clay hatches a scheme to steal $2 million from a racetrack and assembles the team to pull it off. But he didn’t count on one thing: Sherry. The Criterion Collection calls The Killing “both a jaunty thriller and a cold-blooded punch to the gut. And with its precise tracking shots and gratifying sense of irony, it’s Kubrick to the core.”
