Abridged Book Description[]
Kiss Me Deadly is a thick-ear masterpiece, wrenched by director Robert Aldrich and screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides from Mickey Spillane's trash novel, shot through with poetry ("Remember Me" by Christina Rosetti), unspeakable violence, hopped-up street talk ("3D-Pow! Va-va-voom!"), strange characters, and fringe-fantastical elements.
