Born to Kill

“THE COLDEST KILLER A WOMAN EVER LOVED”

Helen Brent (Claire Trevor), a divorcée, is marrying for money and security, and she has a man picked out who will give her both without asking much. Then she meets Sam Wild (Lawrence Tierney), a hotheaded killer, and the safe arrangement she has built starts to look less certain. Robert Wise, making his first film noir, keeps the camera close and the mood tight.
