If The Killers hit the spot, these will too

Robert Siodmak directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Easier on the twists than The Killers

Two things both keep coming back to: film noir and murder

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black and white
The difference: Sits closer to drama than The Killers does

Common ground: small town life

One thread runs through both: film noir

The same two preoccupations: gas station, and femme fatale

Gritty and twisty in the same breath

Both land tension and atmosphere at once

Both are built on the same subject: heist

The same preoccupation in both: murder
