This movie came on the late late show one night, and I only saw part of it - but I loved the dark film noir characterizations,bleak setting, and stark lighting! I had to buy this title to see the whole movie, and was surprised to discover that Stanley Kubrick wrote the screenplay & directed ! The plot centers around the planning & bungled execution of a race track hiest with Sterling Hayden as the gang leader & Elisha Cook Jr. as the weakest link in the gang due to his philandering, double-crossing wife (Marie Windsor).There are plenty of morally compromised film noir characters to enjoy as the complex plot winds to the good triumphs over evil nail biting ending. Kubrick keeps us in suspense till the very end, and he knows how to use his cameras. I give this one a definite thumbs up !
This was a movie I bought "blind" (aka not renting it first) - I heard some good reviews on and my friends recommended it. This one is directed by Stanley Kubrick, and it is a GEM ! Its about some ordinary people who work at a horse racing stadium, getting together and planning a crime that would land them 2 million to share. It was a well organized plan, but how does it end ? Watch it and see - this is a GREAT MOVIE, a lot of fun to watch as the crime happens, the cast is great, I very much enjoyed it.
Good movies, but a MUST SEEM if you're a Kubrick fan. I'm glad that I own this movie.
