  8. I've been doing some reminiscing this morning. Remembering how I met #MickeySpillane in a branch of #Hooters in Church Street Station, Orlando, FL. Sadly, neither is with us any longer. #personalblog #AlanMorris #celebrity

  9. A quotation from Mickey Spillane

    The critics panned Spillane, but he didn’t care. He said, “Those big-shot writers could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar.” He said he never had a character who drank cognac or had a mustache, because he didn’t know how to spell those words. He said, “I have no fans. You know what I got? Customers. And customers are your friends.”

  12. Had it not been for the Production Code I, the Jury (1953) would have been the best-ever Mickey Spillane film adaptation. It's still pretty good - Peggie Castle sizzles, John Alton’s cinematography is superb. See it.

  16. Mickey Spillane was definitely in the groove when he wrote the fifth Mike Hammer book The Big Kill in 1951. As so often it’s Hammer’s sensitive side that drives him on - it drives him even when he’s blowing away hoodlums with his .45.

  24. Bloody Sunrise from 1965, second of Mickey Spillane’s Tiger Mann spy novels. Tiger works for a private spy agency. He doesn't have to play by the rules. This tale involves a defector and a woman who isn't who she appears to be. Good stuff.
