Details

• Release Year: 1955
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Stanley Kubrick's second film, 'Killer's Kiss', made the world take notice. ; ; The young moviemaker won acclaim for this dazzling 'film noir' about a struggling New York boxer (Jamie Smith) whose life is imperiled when he protects a nightclub dancer (Irene Kane) from her gangster boss (Frank Silvera). 'Using his camera as a sandpaper block, Kubrick has stripped away the veneer from the prizefight and dancehall worlds,' the 'New York Mirror' proclaimed.; ; 'Killer's Kiss' not only lends considerable insight into future Kubrick classics - such as 'The Killing' and 'Full Metal Jacket'- but is also a remarkable film in its own right: the boxing match may be the most vicious this side of 'Raging Bull', and the famed final battle remains an action tour-de-force. ; ; 'An ambitious photographer...challenges the movie capital with 'Killer's Kiss',' the 'New York Daily News' enthused. 'The suspenseful venture augurs well for young Stanley Kubrick!'
