Just this thing is stocked.

But Kubrick, like, his first ever movie was a boxing, like...

Yeah, Killer's Kiss.

Yeah, no, not even before that

even.

They scheduled 24 days to shoot the whole picture, first reel to last.

Pretty quick for Stanley, considering it took him seven months to shoot Killer's Kiss.

Here's Sterling Hayden.

And I like the way he shot.

From the self-financed debut he would later try to suppress, to a Kirk Douglas-produced anti-war masterpiece that remains one of the most defining films of its decade, these four films trace one of the most compressed and dramatic artistic evolutions in cinematic history.

Fear and Desire from 1953, which is on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, Killer's Kiss from 1955, which is on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, The Killing from 1956, which is on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, and Paths of Glory from 1957, which is on 4K UHD and Blu-ray.

All restored in 4K from their original elements, this set features authoring and encoding by Fidelity In Motion, hours of brand new special features, a 100-page hardcover booklet featuring brand new essays and original production stills, and a second 144-page hardcover booklet featuring the scripts of Killer's Kiss, The Killing, and Paths of Glory.

Kubrick met producer James B. Harris while playing chess in Washington Square, who once described Kubrick as the most intelligent, most creative person I ever came in contact with.

The two forged the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation in 1955, with the killing the first of their three-picture collaboration.

And then it includes a new interview entitled Parts to Glory by film historian Jeremy Arnold on young Kubrick's fears and desires.

It also includes a short film by Kubrick from 1953 called The Seafarers, which is also from a 4K restoration, trailers, audio English LPCM 2.0 mono, aspect ratio of 1 through 3 to 1, and optional English hard of hearing subtitles.

The next film in the collection is imprint release number 623, Killer's Kiss from 1955.

And then there's also a brand new special feature, Paths to Glory, film historian Jeremy Arnold on young Kubrick's fear and desires.

yes let's go and it comes with two copies or two different versions of the film as well the 62 minute theatrical version and the 70 minute premiere version cool stuff to see next up we have killer's kiss which i also had the 4k from kino don't need that anymore either because i have it in this box set have not seen this one I have seen The Killing, and I really, really like The Killing.

My friends call me the heist hound, so I am a sucker for this genre just from the jump.

But even though this movie was made, what, in 1956? It holds up to this day.

His budget this time was $60,000.

He called the film Killer's Kiss.

It was a film noir, a crime story with dark shadows and doomed characters.

Up.

During production, Stanley and Ruth lived on their unemployment checks.

They barely scraped by.

But Killer's Kiss was a major leap forward from Fear and Desire.

The camera work was finally starting to look like Stanley Kubrick.
