Private detective Mike Hammer (Robert Bray) learns that a young prostitute he met the night before has been murdered. To avenge the girl’s death, Hammer scours the underbelly of Los Angeles looking for her missing ring, which he hopes will lead him to the killer. Based on a novel by Mickey Spillane, this detective movie features brutal beatings, warring criminal gangs and valuable treasures stolen by the Nazis.
So over-the-top hardboiled and overacted that it is effectively a parody of the genre. Needless to say: I liked it.
