The Murderer (1946)
Director: Robert Siodmak
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Edmund O'Brien, Albert Dekker, Sam Leven, Virginia Christine, Jack Lambert, Vince Burnett, William Conrad, Charles McGraw, Phil Brown
[Story]
Two assassins appear in the rural town of Brentwood, New Jersey. They are trying to kill Swede (Lancaster), a man who works at a gas station, and when Swede's colleague Nick (Brown) learns of this, he goes to warn Swede's apartment, but Swede refuses to move, saying that he is tired of running away. Eventually, the two assassins fire 10 bullets into Suede and leave. Swede has no relatives, but he has a life insurance policy with a woman as the beneficiary, and Jim Reardan (O'Brien), the insurance company, is looking for a female beneficiary. Jim's investigation shows that the man known as Swede was Pete Lynn in Brentwood, but that was a pseudonym. Swede's right fist was hurting due to boxing, and when he asked the boxing gym, he found that Swede was....
☆彡 Semi-documentary touch films were one of the trends in post-war American cinema. The method of starting with a murder case and gradually bringing the facts to light through cutbacks through the people involved brings a mysterious atmosphere, and the direction of Robert Siodmak, who is good at this field, is superb! It is an excellent work by the producer Mark Hellinger, comparable to "The Naked Town". Betrayal is the theme of the story, and Ava Gardner (who was unusual in Hollywood, where blonde actresses are touted because of her exotic facial features) and Burt Lancaster, who fell in love with her and eventually lost the will to live, are both suitable and good performances. The fact that Edmund O'Brien is an investigator for an insurance company creates a hard-boiled atmosphere, which was also popular at the time.
Murderers (1964)
Director: Don Siegel
Cast: Lee Marvin, Angie Dikison, John Cassavetes, Crewe Gallagher, Claude Akins, Norman Fell, Ronald Reagan, Virginia Christine, Robert Phillips, Kathleen O'Malley, Seymour Cassel
[Story]
Two professional hitmen erase a teacher man at a school for the blind. The two hitmen are a middle-aged man, Charlie Strom (Marvin), and a young man, Lee (Gallagher), and the one who is erased is former racer Johnny North (Cassavetes). Johnny is shot dead without any resistance to the killers. It was an easy job, but Charlie didn't like that Johnny didn't resist at all and that the remuneration was hefty at $25,000. For this kind of work, the remuneration is at most $10,000. Charlie re-examines Johnny's documents from the murder request. Johnny North was a top-notch racer, but he had an accident during a race and retired from racing. He was involved in the robbery of $1 million from a mail van four years ago, and the $1 million had not yet been found. They don't know who commissioned the murder, but they think they might get a million dollars, so Charlie and Lee visit the auto repair shop of Johnny's ex-partner and mechanic Earl Sylvester (Akins), who lives in Miami.
Charlie and Lee threaten Earl to force him to get information about Johnny. Johnny was a naturally talented race driver, but he fell in love with Sheila Farr (Dikisson), a woman who loves racing, and he overdid it during the race and caused an accident..
☆彡 The above is a remake directed by Robert Theodmak in 1946. The film was originally produced as a TV movie, but NBC decided it was too violent for a TV movie, so it was released theatrically by Universal Pictures. In fact, by the standards of the mid-1960s, it was one of the films that defined Don Siegel's style from the middle of his career onwards. The plot is based on Hemingway's short story "A man with a past chooses to be killed at the hands of an assassin without running away or resisting", and follows the man's past and inserts flashbacks of the past by various testimonies to reveal it. In the Siodmak version, the character who is in charge of the investigation is an investigator for an insurance company, but in this work, the killers who killed the man themselves embark on an investigation of the man because they see it as a story for profit, and as a result, the violent sequence is greatly increased. The silent and ruthless Lee Marvin and the infantile cruelty of the killer duo reveal their ferocity throughout the film. Siegel's staging is a striking one, with the depiction of the merciless violence against the blind receptionist in the opening murder scene at the school for the blind, and the way in which the two men seek out one person after another who knows about the man's past, often using violence to reveal their testimony, is also powerful. The occupation of the murdered man, played by John Cassavetes, is changed from a boxer played by Burt Lancaster in Theodmak's version to a former car racer who has been expelled from the racing world, and the crime scenes depicted in the flashback sequences have been changed accordingly. At the time of its release, Lee Marvin said that it was his favorite movie. It is a film in which Ronald Reagan, who later became president of the United States, appeared at the end of his acting career, and it is also a representative work as an actor of John Cassavetes, who was an actor but was beginning to show his talent as a film director.
