Ripping! Raw!"; "Taut! Tough! Torrid!"; "Spillane") starring Mickey Spillane ("as Mike Hammer"; author of the source novel; unhappy with the previous screen portrayals of his pulp hero, he chose to play Mike Hammer himself!), Shirley Eaton (right before her role in Goldfinger!), Lloyd Nolan, Hy Gardner, and Scott Peters. Note that Mickey Spillane was a department store salesman in 1940 when he discovered he could sell stories for comic books, and he quickly wrote for all the major companies. After Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Air Force and became a fighter pilot. After the war, he wrote "I, the Jury" in 19 days, and it was published in 1947, and it sold 6.5 million copies in the U.S. alone. Its hero, Mike Hammer, a hard-boiled private eye, would appear in many more novels. Spillane would write for the movies, and he even played Mike Hammer in "The Girl Hunters" in 1963!
