The Killing (with author and filmmaker Tyler Schwanke)

Stamper Cinema

Greetings! In this episode of Stamper Cinema we take a trip back to 1956 to discuss the Stanley Kubrick (yes, that Stanley Kubrick) heist flick THE KILLING.

The Killing is the story of career criminal Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden) attempting one last job before he goes straight and marries his fiancee. Joining his team of misfits for the heist to steal millions of dollars from a racetrack is a sharpshooter a crooked police officer, a bartender and a racetrack teller named George. Of course, because this is a heist flick / film noir, there's always the issue of the femme fatale - and Sherry, George's wife fits the bill perfectly. She just might have the perfect plan of her own to steal the money from underneath the George, Johnny and the rest of the gang.

Joining in on the conversation is author/filmmaker and general heist enthusiast, Tyler Schwanke (BREAKING IN). Tyler absolutely brings the heat. Enjoy!
