Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson and John Cassavetes are the figures named on this color poster for *The Killers*, a 1964 crime film loosely adapted from Ernest Hemingway's 1927 short story of the same name. The movie was originally made for NBC television, but the network found its violence too strong for broadcast, so it was released in theaters instead. Don Siegel directed the film, whose hard-edged robbery and manhunt story drew attention at the time. The record gives only an estimated date of about 1964 and does not name the printer.
