SIODMAK, Robert

"From the story by Ernest Hemingway"; "Produced by Mark Hellinger"; "It's told the untamed Hemingway way!"; "Tense! Taut! Terrific!"; "There is more than one way to kill a man!". Based on the Ernest Hemingway short story, Siodmak's classic film noir takes the basic premise (two hired killers arrive in a small town but the man they're searching for strangely, impassively accepts his fate) to open out the story with complex flashbacks, a justly famous robbery sequence and indelible performances from Burt Lancaster and sultry Ava Gardner, one of noir's most dangerous and alluring femme fatales.
