Episode 74 - Drop the Hammer (That Hammer Guy)

Mickey Spillane's hard-boiled private eye Mike Hammer dispensed justice with a blast or two from his .45 in some of the genre's hardest, most violent mysteries. Hammer's adventures sold millions of copies in print and thrilled and titillated audiences in films, on television, and - from 1952 to 1954 - on radio in That Hammer Guy . Larry Haines stars as Mike in "Sophisticated Lady," originally aired on Mutual on April 7, 1953.
