Cited by Martin Scorsese as the film that has influenced him the most, Murder by Contract was made by the once blacklisted writer-director team of Ben Maddow and Irving Lerner.
Tasked with murdering a witness in a criminal trial, contract killer Claude has second thoughts when the target turns out to be a woman... because women cost double.
Killing is just a business to Claude, but when he tries to quit, the hunter become the hunted.
