About Kiss Me Deadly in brief
Kiss Me Deadly is a 1955 American film noir produced and directed by Robert Aldrich, and starring Ralph Meeker, Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart, Juano Hernandez, and Wesley Addy. It also features Maxine Cooper and Cloris Leachman appearing in their feature film debuts. The screenplay was written by Aldrich and A. I. Bezzerides, based on the 1952 crime novel Kiss Me, Deadly by Mickey Spillane. The film has been noted as a stylistic precursor to the French New Wave, and has been cited as a major influence on a number of filmmakers, including François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Alex Cox, and Quentin Tarantino. Kiss Me Deadly grossed USD 726,000 in the United States and USD 226,000 overseas. Despite initial critical distaste, it is considered one of the most important and influential film noirs of all time, with praise directed at its bleak tone, deconstruction of pulp fiction archetypes, and twist ending. It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \”culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\”.
The film was loosely adapted from The Silver Chalice by A I I Chalice and My Gun Is Quick by Victor Victor Saville, both of which were written by A.I. Chalice, who was busy with his own film projects at the time. The story is loosely based on two stories: Kiss Me deadly and My gun Is Quick. The movie was released on November 14, 1955. It is considered to be one of Hollywood’s most influential films of the 1950s and 1960s, along with The Godfather and The Graduate. It has been hailed as a classic of American noir cinema, and is one of only a handful of films to have been preserved by the National Film Preservation Fund. The original version of this article originally stated that the film was based on a novel by Mickey spillane, which was published in 1952. We are happy to clarify that this is not the case, and that the screenplay was adapted from a short story by Victor Savile, who worked on two other films, one of which was The Gun is Quick.
