It’s hard to separate Kubrick’s first two films at the bottom of any list. They have a lot in common, black and white, barely an hour, variable photography and dodgy dubbed soundtrack.
Both have some points of interest, and if you are a Kubrick fan, you may want to watch them, but we don’t think they bear repeated viewing.
This is Kubrick working to a strict schedule and budget, a few tens of thousands of dollars. Killer’s Kiss is back on the boxing theme after an earlier short.
Neither was a box office success.
There are points of interest, it’s just a director learning his craft.
