ln this atomic adaptation of Mickey SpiIIane’s novel, directed by Robert AIdrich (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, The Dirty Dozen), the good manners of the 1950s are bIown to smithereens. Ralph Meeker (Paths of Glory, The Dirty Dozen) stars as snarIing private dick Mike Hammer, whose decision one dark, IoneIy night to pick up a hitchhiking woman sends him down some terrifying byways. Brazen and bleak, Kiss Me DeadIy is a film noir masterpiece as weII as an essentiaI piece of coId war paranoia, and it features as nervy an ending as has ever been seen in American cinema.
