Kiss Me Deadly
One evening, private detective Mike Hammer picks up a hitchhiker who's standing on the highway wearing only a trench coat. They're stopped farther on by strangers who knock out Mike and murder the young woman. Although warned not to investigate by the police, Mike and his girlfriend and assistant, Velda (Maxine Cooper), become ensnared in a dark plot involving scientist Dr. Soberin (Albert Dekker) and Christina's terrified roommate, Lily (Gaby Rodgers).
