In this episode, we dive into The Killers (1946), the classic film noir starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner, as we review its Criterion Collection release. We break down what makes Robert Siodmak’s adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story a cornerstone of film noir, from its fatalistic tone and fractured structure to its iconic performances and lasting influence on the genre. We also share brief thoughts on the 1964 version of The Killers, discussing how it differs in style and approach without turning the episode into a full comparison. A must-listen for noir fans and Criterion collectors alike.
