"The Killers" was Burt Lancaster's first movie. But, he wasn't the studio's first choice. Warner Brothers wouldn't lend out actor Wayne Morris for the film. Other actors considered for the part include: Van Heflin, Jon Hall, Sonny Tufts, and Edmond O'Brien, who was instead cast in the role of the insurance investigator.
Come join us for a lively discussion of "The Killers."
September 16, and a showing of the film, September 18
2:00 PM, Free Supported by the St. Simons Literary Guild |

The
Misfits (1961)
The
first movie in our new series is one left over from the Clark Gable Series, the
Misfits, starring Clark Gable and directed by John Huston.
Gable
felt that it was a compliment that he was offered the part of Gay (the male
lead) since he considered it an “intellectual” script, a western but not a
western and unlike other parts he had played.
Arthur
Miller who wrote the screen play, was not at first taken with the idea of
casting Gable, but after he met and talked with Gable, he decided that Gable
was Gay, or Gay was Gable. |

 In September, we will be starting the Fall St. Simons Public Library Novel/Movie Series. This series is about Burt Lancaster. The three movies we will be showing are "The Killers," "The Rose Tattoo," and "Elmer Gantry."
If you would like to watch what is probably Lancaster's best performance and an excellent movie, get a copy of "Judgment at Nuremberg." You can order it from Netflix and perhaps get it at your local library.
