Title: Noir Endgame
Product review: For all intents and purposes, the era of film noir ended on a symbolic note with director Robert Aldrich's "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955). Ralph Meeker gave the performance of his career as Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer in a tough, gritty crime drama - further enhanced by its evocative Los Angeles locations and timely subplot centering on an atomic Pandora's Box. Aldrich rightly believed that the genre would not survive the nuclear age. This low-budget cult classic has grown in stature during the past 20 years.
