  10. 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

  12. 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.”

  16. 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.
