Kiss Me Deadly (1955) starring Ralph Meeker, Albert Decker, Paul Stewart, Cloris Leachman. Sleazy private detective Mike Hammer (Meeker) picks up a scantily clad hitchhiker (Leachman), only to find that some very serious mobsters have an interest in her. Through the twists and turns of the plot, Hammer searches for the thing that was so important that it got his hitchhiker killed. I was surprised to find that the important thing was much more interesting (albeit not believable) than anything I would have guessed. What at first seemed like a schlock movie turned out to be really thought-provoking. No subtitles, but closed captions are available. Grade: B
