Ernest Hemingway’s simple but gripping short tale “The Killers” is a model of economical storytelling. Two directors adapted it into unforgettably virile features: Robert Siodmak, in a 1946 film that helped define the noir style and launch the acting careers of Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner; and Don Siegel, in a brutal 1964 version, starring Lee M...
Criterion upgrades one of my favourite DVD editions of theirs, Ernest Hemingway’s The Killers, which features both the 1946 version directed by Robert Siodmak, and the 1964 version directed by Don Siegel.

It also disappoints that the supplements receive a downgrade. BUY AT:
