Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Killer's Kiss is a 1955 Film Noir starring Jamie Smith and Irene Kane.Davey Gordon (Smith) is a washed-up welterweight boxer in New York City. His apartment is across an alleyway from that of Gloria Price (Kane), a taxi dancer. One evening Davey's attention is drawn by screams from Gloria's apartment, where she is being roughed up by her boss, Vincent Rapallo. Davey chases Vincent out of Gloria's apartment. Soon enough, they fall in love and decide to go away together—but Vincent isn't willing to let Gloria get away so easily.Killer's Kiss was directed by a 27-year-old magazine photographer named Stanley Kubrick. It was his second feature, financed by $40,000 in loans from family and friends. While the acting is sometimes wooden and the dialogue awkward, Kubrick's sophistication in framing visuals is already in evidence. While his first film, Fear and Desire, was barely released, Killer's Kiss was picked up by United Artists for $100,000 and given wide release. It helped Kubrick get recognition in Hollywood as an up-and-coming young genius.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Killer's Kiss / int_75e2bf23 | comment |
Chiaroscuro: Kubrick obviously picked up quite a bit from Film Noir. Nearly every indoor scene in the movie, as well as the night scenes, are shot in the shadows with dramatic contrast between light and darkness. | |
