My Gun Is Quick (1957)

My Gun Is Quick (1957) is a Mike Hammer late period P.I. violent woman-thrashing chase and murder deception thuggery exploitation noir, which barely carries the name film noir staggering out of the 1950s, yet probably capturing some of the maddened spirit of the early 40s noir as it inadvertently and rather ogrishly does so.

My Gun Is Quick is a Mike Hammer adventure that defies expectations and stands strong despite numerous challenges. Originating from the mind of Mickey Spillane, the film navigates the inherent issues of its creator's style, its largely unknown cast and crew, and the general dismissiveness of its existence. However, like the curate's egg, parts of it are quite good.
