The Killers (1964)
Country: US
Technical: col 95m
Director: Don Siegel
Cast: Lee Marvin, Clu Gulager, John Cassavetes, Angie Dickinson
Synopsis:
Two hitmen determine to find out why their victim put up no struggle when they killed him.
Review:
This remake's origins as a TV production ensure brisk handling from disciplined storyteller Siegel, but splendidly taken title roles and some zest in the handling do not raise it above the standard of its predecessor. Nevertheless, Marvin's final 'Lady, I just don't have the time' takes some beating.
