Restore Me Deadly
I've always been curious about the ending of my favorite film noir, Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly. Was it really a depiction of a nuclear Apocalypse that destroys brutal anti-hero, Mike Hammer, his secretary Velma, and the rest of Southern California along with them?
Thanks to some excellent cinematic detective work by film restoration expert, Alain Silver, the real ending to this dark masterpiece has finally been uncovered, and the equally excellent Noir of the Week weblog has the scoop.
