    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Originally filmed in 3D, but by the time it opened, 3D had lost favor among audiences, and many first-run engagements, as well as most second-run engagements, opted to offer it in the standard 2D version.
    • Goofs
      At Manuel's Spanish-American Bar, Manuel serves Mike Hammer a glass of beer that is at least half-head with a foamy dome extending above the top of the glass. With an instant viewing angle change, the head on the beer is no more than an inch tall with its top level with the top of the glass. Again at the original viewing angle the beer has the thick head with the dome above the top of the glass. With yet another angle change, the head is short, not even extending to the top of the glass.
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • Mike Hammer: [after he shoots Charlotte as he knew she was going to shoot him] So long baby.
      • Charlotte Manning: How could you...
      • [Charlotte slowly and sultrily crumples to the floor in her death]
      • Mike Hammer: It was easy.
      • [Mike heads to the telephone]
      • Mike Hammer: [voice over] There was only one thing left to do. Order a basket... a real pretty one. And wait for Pat. He had his killer, and I had my memories.
