"Stanley Kubricks second feature film, Killers Kiss, made the world take notice. The young moviemaker won acclaim for this dazzling film noir about a struggling New York boxer (Jamie Smith) whose life is imperiled when he protects a nightclub dancer from her gangster boss. Using his camera as a sandpaper block, Kubrick has stripped away the veneer from the prizefight and dancehall worlds, the New York Mirror proclaimed. Killers Kiss not only lends considerable insight into future Kubrick classics such as The Killing and Full Metal Jacket but it is also a remarkable film in its own right: the boxing match may be the most vicious this side of Raging Bull, and the famed final battle remains an action tour de force"--Container.
