Movie Description
Don Siegel's adaptation of the previously filmed Ernest Hemingway story stars Lee Marvin as professional hit man Charlie. After Charlie and colleague Lee (Clu Gulager) force their way into a school for the blind and kill Johnny North (John Cassavetes), one of the teachers, Charlie wonders why the victim offered so little resistance--and why he was paid so much for the job. He also recalls rumors that Johnny was mixed up in a million-dollar heist. They visit Johnny's former partner, Earl Sylvester (Claude Akins), and learn that he had been a race-car driver. Led astray by femme fatale Shiela Farr (Angie Dickinson) before a big race, he racked up his car, ending his driving career. Earl spots Shiela with the wealthy Browning (Ronald Reagan) and realizes that his friend's been set up. Shiela approaches Johnny, who's working as a mechanic, and persuades the driver to take a job as wheelman in a mail-truck robbery Browning's devised. She plans for the two of them to double cross Browning and take off with the money. The film is a lean and mean daylight noir, with an entertainingly sociopathic Marvin. Reagan is good in a villainous role he later regretted having done.

Credits
Writer:Don Siegel
Cast:Claude Akins, John Cassavetes, Norman Fell, Ronald Reagan, Virginia Christine

Notes
The film features the final screen appearance of Ronald Reagan.

Originally made for television as JOHNNY NORTH, the pilot for a series of two-hour shows, THE KILLERS had to be released theatrically because of excessive sex and violence.
