7/10
Film noir from Stanley Kubrick.
23 November 2012
Warning: Spoilers
With minimal budget and no real big name stars, Stanley Kubrick directs a straight forward simplistic script,with no frills,drama. Davey Gordon(Jamie Smith)is a washed-up boxer with a glass jaw. At this point in his career, he gets the little, last minute fights that pay just as small. Davey gets several glimpses of Gloria(Irene Kane) that lives in the apartment across from his. She is going through hard times too. She is a taxi-dancer that is trying to break away from her job and her boss Vincent Rapollo(Frank Sivera). The fighter goes with the dancer to collect her last paycheck. The jealous and lustful Vincent gets the idea that Davey and Gloria are now an item and he is willing to commit murder to have her for himself. Rounding out the cast: Mike Dana, Jerry Jarrett, Barbara Brand and Falice Orlandi. KILLER'S KISS is what it is and just happens to be a worthwhile film.
