The Film Encyclopedia (Ephraim Katz) mention that the first
Kubrick film was Fear and Desire, 1953; Second one was
Killer's Kiss, 1955; Third one was The Killing, 1956,and
this one makes him notest as a director. Then came Paths of
Glory,1957. He left Hollywood uncomfortable with regulations on his work and lack of indendence for his work
I am not a follower of Mr. Kubrick. I think that his films were always overrated.
