Kiss Me Deadly

A classic film noir by Mickey Spillane’s best seller Kiss Me Deadly and directed masterfully by Robert Aldrich, is hailed as one of the best.  This collection features the fully restored original ending plus over one minute of crucial footage clarifying the decades of false interpretations.  It illustrates a vastly different impression from every other version with an altered shortened ending included in the collection.  

Callous thugs beat detective Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) senseless and viciously murder the gorgeous blonde he’s been helping.  But the hard-boiled detective retaliates the only way he knows how; hitting first and asking questions later.  While cutting a brutal swath through the city’s sleazy underside, Hammer uncovers a mysterious black container with deadly contents that will not only solve the murder . . . but triggers an apocalyptic climax as well.
