Product Description
Product Description
Ernest Hemingway's simple but gripping short tale ''The Killers'' is a model of economical storytelling. Two directors adapted it into unforgettably virile features: Robert Siodmak (Criss Cross), in a 1946 film that helped define the noir style and launch the acting careers of Burt Lancaster (Sweet Smell of Success) and Ava Gardner (On the Beach); and Don Siegel (Dirty Harry), in a brutal 1964 version, starring Lee Marvin (Point Blank), Angie Dickinson (Rio Bravo), and John Cassavetes (Rosemary's Baby), that was intended for television but deemed too violent for home audiences and released theatrically instead. The first is poetic and shadowy, the second direct and harsh as daylight, but both get at the heart of Hemingway's existential classic.

Pour le fun, la version Siegel offrit son dernier rôle à Ronald Reagan juste avant qu'il n'entre en politique. Reagan détestait ce film où il incarna son unique personnage de salopard au cinéma et il n'a jamais été aussi bon qu'ici.
Parmi les suppléments (très riches), une curiosité : la version des "Tueurs" par le jeune Andrei Tarkovski en 1956. Un court-métrage de fin d'études très fidèle à la nouvelle mais assez limité.
Déplorable coquille d'Amazon qui attribue ce DVD au Studio Gie Sphe-Tf1 alors qu'il s'agit évidemment des incontournables Carlotta !
