Historia
Mickey Spillane is an American author of hardcore detective stories. Wrote more than 20 novels with a circulation of more than 140 million copies. He began his writing career as a writer for comics. Spillane published his first novel, Judgment Is Me, in 1946. The hero of this and twelve other books is private detective Mike Hammer, one of the most popular characters in popular culture. Spillane's novels have been adapted many times in film and television. Spillane himself played the role of a detective in the movie (Ring of Fear / Ring of Fear, 1954). Films based on his novels became classics, including Kiss Me Deadly (1955) and The Girl Hunters (1963), with his own participation. In The Girl Hunters, Spillane played his character Mike Hammer. This is one of the rarest cases in history when the author plays the role of the hero he created. He also appeared as a writer in the television series about Colombo (episode "Publish or Perish"). Spillane's huge success is usually credited to the successful mixture of his gruff language, the rigidity of the characters, and the abundance of erotic scenes. His books, as fellow detective writer Raymond Chandler has said, can be described as "a mixture of violence and outright pornography." However, it has become a classic of the genre.
Narrator
Filled with humor and defining experiences in both his own life and in the lives of some of his closest friends, William Faulkner and Robert Aldrich, as well as on his late wife, screenwriter Silvia Richards, Mr. Bezzerides offers colorful reflections as to why he and his typewriter unabashedly need to keep creating honest characters, worlds, and stories. Through recently discovered boxes of photographs, film clips, the haunting music by Fugazi, interviews (including Jules Dassin, Mickey Spillane and Barry Gifford) and testaments to his progressive creativity from other writers, Fay Lellios' straight-ahead documentary gives us a start in discovering this 97-year-old proletariat storyteller, and the meaning of his favorite phrase by Carl Jung, "There can be no birth of consciousness without pain."

Attorney Neal Ekhardt
After escaping a lethal injection for the murders Mommy (Patty McCormack) had committed, she is given a special implant in her arm that will keep her from having homicidal urges. However, since she still tries to see her daughter and other murders are continuing, it doesn't look very good for Mommy.
Attorney Eckhart
Patty McCormack's "Mommy" is psychotically obsessed with her 12-year-old daughter Jessica Ann -- so much so that when she finds out Jessica didn't get the "Student of the Year" award again, she solves the problem by murdering the teacher who didn't recommend her for it. She dismisses the killing as inconsequential ("a minor accident"), but the homicide detective assigned to the case suspects her immediately, and an insurance investigator who also suspects her tries to get close to Jessica Ann to find out what really happened.
