Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
NEVADA THEATRE 11/24 - KISS ME DEADLY - Kiss Me Deadly (11/24) - Our series on femme fatales wraps up with one of the most unique film noirs ever made. A gritty, hard-boiled detective story, KISS ME DEADLY follows private eye Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) as he becomes entangled in a deadly conspiracy after picking up a mysterious, distressed woman on a dark highway. What begins as a simple case quickly spirals into a nightmarish quest involving dangerous criminals and a mysterious, highly sought-after object. As Hammer delves deeper, he uncovers a world of corruption, violence, and secrets far beyond his expectations. With its relentless pace, moody cinematography, and dark themes, the film was initially met with critical disapproval but is now considered one of the most influential noirs of all time.
