The Killers (1964)

Director: Don Siegel

The Killers, sometimes marketed as Ernest Hemingway's The Killers, is a 1964 cri
me film released by Universal Studios. It is the second Hollywood adaptation of
Ernest Hemingway's short story of the same name, following a version made in 194
6 starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner. It was directed by Don Siegel and sta
rs Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. It is notable for being Ronald Reagan's last
film before entering politics and eventually achieving the presidency (and one i
n which he uncharacteristically plays the role of a villain).
At the time of its release, Marvin said that it was his favorite film.
he Killers was intended to be the very first "made for TV movie", but NBC judged
it too violent to broadcast, and so Universal released the movie in theaters in
stead.
Steve McQueen and George Peppard were considered for the Johnny North role.
Don Siegel had originally been hired as director of the earlier 1946 version of
the same story, but had been fired. Actress Virginia Christine had also appeared
in the 1946 version.
According to the DVD commentary, leading lady Angie Dickinson received the news
during filming that her friend (and rumored romantic partner) President John F.
Kennedy had been shot and killed.
The Killers was Ronald Reagan's last acting role before entering politics, and t
he only villain in his career. According to Kirk Douglas' autobiography The Ragm
an's Son, Reagan regretted doing the movie, particularly because of a scene in w
hich he slaps Dickinson.
