The Killers (1946)

It goes without saying that there’s gonna be some dangerous dames all March for our noir month we’ve dubbed THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR. Today’s feature has a lady that is so stunning, so femme fatale, that she’s got Burt Lancaster’s bisexual ass simping to the grave. I mean, this dude did time for this lady by taking the fall for her while she was sitting at a table with her actual boyfriend. It’s really not clear if he ever got to second base. Either way, the Swede is dead, and who else but an insurance guy is gonna piece this puzzle together? We’re talking Robert Siodmak’s 1947 adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story “THE KILLERS” starring a sad-ass Burt Lancaster, a knockout Ava Gardner and Edmund O’Brien who ain’t a bad little piece of chicken in his own right. We also got a little bit of post-Oscar conversation as well. Congrats to Oppenheimer.
