Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Before 2001: A Space Odyssey redefined science fiction, before The Shining terrified a generation, there was a gritty, sweat-soaked film Stanley Kubrick tried to bury forever.Shadows of Noir: Unraveling the Mystery of Stanley Kubrick's 'Killer's Kiss' pulls this cinematic ghost from the darkness, offering the definitive look at Killer's Kiss, the disowned masterpiece that holds the keys to understanding a cinematic genius.The Birth of a Vision: A 1950s Noir BlueprintJourney back to the shadowy streets of 1950s New York, where a down-and-out boxer, a desperate taxi dancer, and a sadistic nightclub owner are locked in a fatal triangle. Made on a shoestring budget and quickly suppressed by its own creator, the film was dismissed upon release for its "amateurish flaws."But beneath its raw, unpolished surface lies the very blueprint for Kubrick's entire career.
