MICKEY SPILLANE'S MIKE HAMMER: THE COMPLETE SERIES

Details

• Release Year: 1958
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
• Plot: New York City. 1958. In these concrete canyons, everybody's got an angle: The beauty with the sob story who killed her old man. The harmless geezer who's in bed with the mob. The kidnapped broad who's really a fraud. When a case gets too twisted for the cops, only one man can straighten it out: two-fisted gumshoe Mike Hammer.; ; Created by legendary crime novelist Mickey Spillane, Mike Hammer was brought to television for the first time in 1958, with Darren McGavin (Kolchak: The Night Stalker, A Christmas Story) as the hardboiled private eye. Pummeled for its 'excessive and gratuitous violence' (by 1950's standards), the show was, nevertheless, instantly successful—thanks, in part, to McGavin's tongue-in-cheek charm.; ; Here for the first time on DVD is the complete 78-episode run of the groundbreaking series MICKEY SPILLANE'S MIKE HAMMER, featuring the original jazz theme, Riff Blues and an unforgettable cast of conmen, crooks, killers and femmes fatale.
