- TriviaRobert Bray receives an "introducing" credit, even though he is credited in 32 prior movies starting in 1947 (and 31 more, uncredited, before that). The "introducing" credit is qualified by "as Mike Hammer", suggesting that further appearances as Mike Hammer were planned or at least considered.
- GoofsWhen Hammer drives Maria from the club to Red's apartment, his car has the top up. Cut to a two-shot in the car, and the top is down.

Featured review
"B" Hammer version
The quintessential Mike Hammer (Robert Bray), haggard, menacing, but essentially a decent guy in a dirty world inhabited by ruthless killers, gets involved in the murder of a young aspiring actress, who only the night before he had met at a lonely downtown diner, and had helped out with bus fare back to her native Nebraska. Her death was related to a piece of jewelry she was carrying, part of a cache of stolen war time jewels. Forced to get to the bottom of the murder, not for money but because of his connection to the girl, he unravels the mystery in the typical Hammer fashion of payoffs and beatings. Released two years after Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly, MGiQ is the poorer man's version, though it has its own charms, mostly in the way of the LA settings and Bray's portrayal, tired and unshaven, but with the determination of a pit bull.
