	. . . Mickey Spillane plays his own creation, street-thug-turned-
	PI Mike Hammer, in this 1963 adaptation of his novel. The film
	opens with Hammer on the downside of a years-long bender,
	scooped out of the gutter by a bitter cop intent on prying
	information from a dying man. Inspired to clean up his act by the
	secrets he hears, Hammer hits the streets on a personal
	crusade to find the love of his life. Future Bond girl Shirley
	Earton costars as a glamorous society widow who goes
	slumming with Hammer. Spillane, who brings the grace of a
	trained monkey and the sex appeal of a Bronx cheer to the role,
	is less a stoic, tarnished street knight than a street bum at a
	cocktail party, but it works for the working-class pug. The low-
	budget production is a rare black-and-white CinemaScope
	picture, rough and messy but lacking the raw edge and gritty
	look of more accomplished crime pictures. B-movie veteran Roy
	Rowland directs with a lazy pace and a prosaic style that drags
	until he takes his camera to streets of New York City. The
	definitive Hammer remains Ralph Meeker in Robert Aldrich's
	Kiss Me Deadly, but Spillane makes a respectable runner-up. . .
