Featuring ACTUAL Penn Station and not that dungeon that it has now become after the original got bulldozed.

My only real problem with #killerskiss was it was a little too talky over the ballet scene. Same scene shorter or with something cut in to interrupt would be fine.
The harmonica guy reminded me of the Chicken Man in #TrueGrit.
And the female costar was near perfect.

Notably, the female lead of Kubrick's 2nd film ( #KillersKiss) fared better than the star of his first - Virginia Leith. 🧐

These scenes in Penn Ststion (RIP)—Kubrick, like the great director he is, has the guts to place the camera low to the floor, so more distant figures appear on screen eye level. You see it again and again in his work. Welles did the same thing in “Citizen Kane.” #KillersKiss #tcmparty
This is the the last time Kubrick made a film with a conventional Hollywood happy ending.
Every major Kubrick film afterward grows progressively bleaker, more ironic, or more ambiguous.

He played the menacing Dr. Koslenko in the “Twilight Zone” episode “Person or Person’s Unknown,” dealing with Richard Long’s character, whose identity and history have vanished from existence. Silvera is the imposing psychiatrist who believes Long is just delusional. #KillersKiss #tcmparty

Me entering the mannequin warehouse
Kubrick spent years photographing New York City, for pay and for art, and it’s like it was all location scouting and pre-visualization for #KillersKiss #tcmparty
Frank Silvera ("Vinnie") had a fairly long career, but I remember him most (and vaguely at that) for being in the TV show "High Chaparral" as "Don Sebastian Montoya" He died in 1970.

Frank Silvera was a fantastic actor who broke racist barriers. His mother was Jamaican and his father was a Portuguese Jew. His low-key menace, breaking through to rage, is riveting. #KillersKiss #tcmparty

Let's whisper about the hostages where they can hear us.
OK. They'll never guess what's coming.

A steep, shadowed stairwell with a blond woman in a trench coat.
The vertiginous stairs up to the dance hall/pool hall/whatever. Kubrick’s cinematography will make you dizzy. #KillersKiss #tcmparty
It's a mistake to confuse pity with love. #KillersKiss #TCMParty
While the cast of #KillersKiss isn't famous, I do like their performances. Notably, Chris Chase (Irene Kane) started as a model and later worked at CNN in the 1980s and wrote the biographies for Betty Ford and Alan King.

Oh no, the periodic narration has started reminding me of the 1946 Bela Lugosi film #ScaredtoDeath

One of the things I am most thankful for from @tcmtv.bsky.social is introducing me to Stanley Kubrick’s #KillersKiss. It’s such a gorgeous, weird, dreamy, seedy, noirish film. And it does as good a job as any film of the era (including Sweet Smell of Success), of showing us 1950s NYC. #tcmparty

Ruth Sobotka (1925-1967) "Iris" was Kubrick's wife at the time.
