This was Stanley Kubrick’s first feature film, a low budget crime thriller. Apparently the producers thought that its non-linear story sequence would be incomprehensible to an audience, and did not promote it. But there are some very good sequences in this, and the acting, by unknowns and “B” stars (Stirling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Vince Edwards, Elisha Cook), is quite good. Elisha Cook’s performance is particularly impressive.
