It is in color (Technicolor that is), it is big, it is fast and it is funny. The prints of this picture have been restored so it looks like it was made yesterday. Originally this picture was to be just a shot by shot remake of the Douglas Fairbanks version from 1919. However at […]
Great accidents happen once in a while that leave us saying thank God for accidents. The Killer’s starring Burt Lancaster plucked fresh from Broadway (in his motion picture debut) and Ava Gardner is just such a film.
