The Killers (1964) Directed by Don Siegel Two hired killers muscle their way into a school for the blind and terrorize the secretary until she reveals the whereabouts of racecar driver Johnny North.Director Don Siegel deviates radically from the Ernest Hemingway short story and the 1946 film, fashioning a tale of amorality and white-knuckled suspense uniquely his own.
