My spouse and I checked out the DVD, "Kiss Me Deadly," from the library. It's described as a 1955 cold war paranoia noir film directed by Robert Aldrich and is full of action from start to finish. Ralph Meeker portrays convertible driving Mike Hammer who picks up a woman he finds running along a lonely road one dark night (played by Cloris Leachman). She's very fearful and ends up dead which sends Hammer down some terrifying paths looking for answers. She may have had connections to the mob and everywhere he turns he seems to find out something ever more frightening and/or puts himself in more danger.
Since it is a 50's film, it doesn't particularly hold up to the filmography of today but if you're looking for a feeling of what it was like in the 50's when everyone was afraid of being bombed and were building bomb shelters in their backyards, this might give you an idea of why. pazt
