The Killers 1964 BrRip Mp4 Lee1001



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058262/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killers_(1964_film)

Not exactly a remake of Siodmak's film, but a very similar adaptation of Hemingway's short story, except that the old noir ambience has given way to broad daylight, with the two killers now characterised as corporate executives rather than as emblematic figures from the shadows.



Like its predecessor, Siegel's version is at its best while setting up the chillingly ruthless detail of the opening execution (here unnervingly set in an asylum for the blind), less satisfying when it starts providing an answer to the mysterious passivity of the victim (Cassavetes).



A familiar tale of robbery and betrayal unfolds, given a terrific boost by the fact that the two killers stick around (since they now conduct the investigation themselves in the interests of better business efficiency) and are superbly characterised by Marvin and Gulager. Originally made for TV, the film was tactfully switched to cinema release following the JFK assassination.



The Killers was intended as the first made-for-television film, setting the template of a running time around 95 minutes filling a two-hour slot once you add the commercial breaks.

However, it was not to be. Although it was shot before Kennedy's assassination, a potential release in the wake of it made Universal nervous.



A scene with Jack Browning performing an assassination in a similar manner to Oswald must have seemed an unnerving coincidence...even more so in retrospect given that the character is played by a man who later became President of the USA.



As the two killers, Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager are simply superb. The opening sequence in which they extract information about Johnny’s whereabouts from a blind receptionist is utterly chilling (did they really think they could get this on network TV in the mid-1960s?), yet the characters still maintain a strange likability. Their casual banter and off-handed remarks coupled with their cold professionalism sets the stage for a cynical tale of crime at its lowliest.
