White-hot thrills!"; "Mickey Spillane's Latest H-Bomb!"; "'I, The Jury' ' The Long Wait' and now Mickey Spillane strips down to naked fury"; "'I don't care what you do to me, Mike - Just do it fast!'") starring Ralph Meeker (as Mike Hammer), Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart, Juano Hernandez, Leigh Snowden, Cloris Leachman (in her first credited movie role!), Gaby Rodgers, Marian Carr, Maxine Cooper (as Velda), Jack Elam, and Jack Lambert. Note that it is thought that this movie was a major inspiration for the French New Wave movies of the 1960s. Also note that in the late 1990s, United Artists discovered the original filmed ending (director Aldrich had been forced to change it by the studio)! Finally, 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!
