A group of middle-aged men plan to rob a racetrack. Directed by Stanly Kubrick. Sort of a film noir, though it's a heist film. Mostly centers around Elisha Cook Jr and his wife who's just with him for the off chance he can give her some money.

Nicely shot, good pace and acting, intriguing dialogue and entertaining.

Quentin Tarantino quoted that this film inspired Reservoir Dogs. I could see that.

THE KILLING is a great film. Amazed how quickly it moves , considering it's a Kubrick film and Marie Windsor is so duplicitous.

NIGHT CREATURES (1962). Early Autumn just seems to be the best time to view Hammer films and while NC doesn't seem to be as well known (or thought of) as the Gothics, still found it very enjoyable. Story of a village being investigated by King's Soldiers on suspicion of smuggling aided by Marsh Phantoms, moves well and quite rousing in parts. Another engaging performance by
Michael Ripper, Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain (both in CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF) are appealing and lastly, Peter Cushing. He was always good in everything and He dominates every scene He's in here. ***

Invisible Agent (1942)
Invisible Man's Revenge (1944)

Both really good, was surprised to see Jon Hall in both, swapping roles, he pulled it off really well.

The man who knew too much:

The more I see of his work, the more I am getting into Hitchcock and seeing how he deserves his name as the master of suspense.

He wastes little time in setting up the characters and sowing the seeds for the later plot. Some plot holes are a bit more obvious now (How DID doctor McKenna get back from Ambrose Chappell, in one piece? He just did. No biggie.) But the overall story of the McKenna's trying to find their son and prevent the assassination still stands solid.

Was this the 30's version or the 1956 one-that I saw long ago?

THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME (1932)

It was the 1956 one with James Stewart and Doris Day.
