The Killers (Universal, 1946)...

Description

The Killers (Universal, 1946) Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). This film noir classic, based on a story by Ernest Hemingway, marked the film debut of Burt Lancaster. Sultry Ava Gardner is his love interest in this hard-nosed drama of an ex-fighter found murdered, and the subsequent investigation. Anthony Veiller's Oscar-nominated screenplay helped make "The Killers" one of the definitive films noir experiences, including what many consider to be one of the greatest opening sequences in movie history. There are smudge marks, one tear at the bottom, small border bumps, and some light soiling. This colorful title card offers wonderful images of both Lancaster and Gardner. Fine.
