I woke up this morning thinking of the ending of a film whose plot involves a heist of some sort. The ending takes place at an airport, where a suitcase filled with money falls off a baggage cart and opens. Bills fly everywhere. I think the film dates from the 1960s. I’m not sure if it’s in color.
Reader, can you name the film?
[Sometimes the Google is of no avail.]
Update: But readers are. The title is in the comments, and I’m grateful.

I think The Killing, a Kubrick film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_(film)
ReplyDeleteWhy that must be Kubrick's Killer's Kiss, with Sterling Hayden. A great film!
ReplyDeleteOops! I meant Kubrick's "The Killing." It is from 1955, in black and white. By the way, the script was co-authored by the great Jim Thompson! ("Killer's Kiss" is Kubrick's first film, also enthralling, with on-location shots of Manhattan.)
ReplyDeleteThe Killing? 1956... sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteThat’s it! Thank you, Liz, Adair, and WPTunes.
ReplyDeleteI heartily second Adair’s recommendation of Killer’s Kiss.
I seem to remember (rightly or wrongly) that the money flies up in the air at the end because they were afraid the censors wouldn't like someone succeeding from a crime...?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds plausible. Anyone know?
