Kiss me Deadly

KISS ME DEADLY (1955) - Oct. 13, 2006
About a private eye who finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy after he begins to investigate the death of a hitchhiker he picked up, this was a well made film noir. The direction was good (I particularly liked the scene in the boxing ring), as was the acting, though the film was probably a bit overlong. Then there is the bizarre ending, which clearly inspired the glowing suitcase from Pulp Fiction, and which really has to be seen to be believed. ***
