It's time for a lesson in film noir. It's time for "Kiss Me Deadly"!

Kiss Me Deadly is a mid-1950s movie based on the wildly popular books by Mickey Spillane, featuring the nasty L.A. detective Mike Hammer. When Hammer stumbles into an underground world of horrible people who are trying to keep a major secret, he's going to find out what that secret is, at all costs.

This video discusses why Kiss Me Deadly is a great example of American film noir. Weird angles, shadows, labyrinthine staircases, femme fatales, fatalistic plots, a world of sin and depravity -- this movie has all this and more.
