The Killing is a 1956 feature film directed by Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick's only "crime" genre film, and lost wholly "commercial" effort, the film depicts the efforts of Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden) and an assembled team to rob a racetrack. The use of shifting time and points of view influenced many later filmmakers, such as Quentin Tarantino.
