    • The Noose Hangs High (1948)

      Walter Schumann's score samples a cue from Miklós Rózsa's score from The Killers. The same cue would later be used in the Dragnet series (radio, television and film).

      German Movie poster can be seen
    • Carnal Circuit (1969)

      Opening is a bit like Hemingway's short story.

      Discussion.
    • The Outfit (1973)

      Cody (Joe Don Baker) is threatened in a diner. When the hoodlums leave, one of them says, "You're lucky. You should play the horses" --- a direct quote from The Killers.

References

    • I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932)

      The scene where James and his 'partner' hold up the diner is 'homaged' in the opening scene in the diner--looks too spookily similar (frame composition and lighting and style) not to be an homage??
    • Citizen Kane (1941)

      The life of a man and his last words are investigated.
    • Double Indemnity (1944)

      insurance-investogator character in the later firm is almost identical to (and rhymes with) an insurance-investigator character in the earlier film
