The Killers (also known as A Man Alone) is a 1946 American film noir directed by Robert Siodmak and based in part on the 1927 short story of the same name by Ernest Hemingway. It stars Burt Lancaster in his film debut, Ava Gardner, Edmond O'Brien and Sam Levene. The film also features William Conrad in his first credited role, as one of the killers referred to in the title.
In 2008, The Killers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Hemingway, who was habitually disgusted with how Hollywood distorted his intentions was a fan of the film stating "It is a good picture and the only good picture ever made of a story of mine."

The Killers
Stand alone classic. Burt Lancaster is amazing in this thriller. Ava Gardner displays all her natural talents. Lots of mean guys with ugly faces too. No down and dirty film would be complete without Sam Levene in a cameo detective appearance. Sam is the icing on the cake, who leaves the cherry on top, to other rank amateurs.

Burt Lancaster is lost the second he sets eyes on Ava Gardner. A great cast, great story line -unbeatable.
