"Screen debut of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer (and Elliot as well) finds the thuggish sleuth spending his Christmas holidays hunting down the killer of a close pal. Naturally, more corpses ensue. Dark-humored fun, with a moody Franz Waxman score and stunning 3-D photography by John Alton, including some eye-popping shots inside L.A.’s famed Bradbury Building." – Leonard Maltin, Leonard Maltin’s Classic Movie Guide
