Jane, thanks for your comments. Kiss Me Deadly is the kind of movie that stands up to multiple viewings. Check out this essay for an in-depth review: http://www.filmsite.org/kiss.html.

I just watched “KISS ME DEADLY”. I left with the “what the hell happened?” feeling. I have read several Hammer novels and could not remember any such sci-fi crapola in any of them. Thanks for the blog/website information. That the script was non-Spillane was interesting. I DO wonder at times whether the screen writer and I have read the same book.
I like your site.
