The Killers (1946):
The Killers is based on an Ernest Hemingway short story in which Burt Lancaster, making his film debut, plays Swede, a broken-down ex-fighter waiting in a sleazy room to be assassinated. He does not resist when two men empty their guns into him. It becomes the job of Insurance Investigators Edmond O'Brien to discover why Swede had given up. He pieces together an elaborate look at a man who became the fall guy for gangsters and a seductive, unscrupulous woman (Ava Gardner).

The Killers (1964):
Two Assassins, Charlie (Lee Marvin) and Lee (Clu Gulaver) have been hired to kill Johnny North (John Cassavetes), however both assassins are surprised to find that Johnny seems ready and willing to die when they track him down, teaching in a school for the blind. The two assassins then embark on a journey to uncover the reason Johnny did not resist certain death. Their treacherous journey through the dead mans past reveals two darkly significant characters, Sheila Farr (Angie Dickinson) and Browning (Ronald Reagan) in what transpires as a tale of romance, robbery and double crossing.
