KISS ME DEADLY 1955 (MGM)

One of the finest film noir's ever made!! Directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer. Hammer finds a young woman running down the road and picking her up leads to a murder and something not even Mike Hammer can handle.
This is a shocking and brutal film and it really pulls no punches. Hammer slaps and punches his way to answers, and many of those he wishes he had never received. If you haven't seen this film by all means check it out. A perfect example of how to make a movie.
The rest of the cast is rounded out by Wesley Addy, Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart, Strother Martin, Cloris Leachman, Jack Elam and Maxine Cooper.
