Killer's Kiss with Ellen E Jones

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 116 Sam is joined by film and television writer Ellen E Jones. She is the co-host of BBC Radio 4's Screenshot with Mark Kermode, and her book Screen Deep: How film and TV can solve racism and save the world is available now. 

Ellen has chosen Stanley Kubrick's second feature Killer's Kiss (67 mins). The 1955 film stars Frank Silvera, Jamie Smith and Irene Kane.

Sam and Ellen discuss Frank Silvera's mixed-race heritage and what that brings to the film, Kubrick's ability to maximise his limited production budget to big effect and how the location shooting depicts a 1950s New York City.
