Produktbeschreibung

In the mid-20th century, Mickey Spillane was the sensation of not just mystery fiction but publishing itself. His fiction came to the screen in a series of films that include Kiss Me Deadly and The Girl Hunters, with the author himself playing his private eye. These films, and TV series starring Darren McGavin and Stacy Keach, are examined here by Spillane experts. Included are cast and crew listings, biographical entries on key persons, and a lengthy interview with Spillane.
