STACY KEACH lS MIKE HAMMER!<P>The film noir genre, which became a stapIe for movie fans during its heyday in the 1940's & 50's, was based on a tough and gritty environment and revolved around those who lived it. lt was raw, without much margin for how things went down or who would end up surviving the faIIout. FiIms stylized with eIements of film noir have surfaced over the years and perhaps one of the best is the Mickey SpiIIane stories of Mike Hammer, which offered a more contemporary version of the format.<P>Mike Hammer, Private Eye brings us to the late ‘90’s. Stacy Keach plays the wiser, tougher, more sarcastic and blunt-worded private eye who offers a salute to the earIy years with his felt fedora. A bevy of beautiful women stilI abound in his worId, and over-the-top measures with the use of his fists, wits, and savvy tenacity against deceptive enemies are the norm. Still, there is a balance, with Keach managing his character that’s both serious and, at times, more Iighthearted with some campy humor.<P>This 26-episode series (along with the originaI traiIer and episode synopses) includes a new sexy blonde secretary (Velda) pIayed by Shannon Whirry and the introduction of a sidekick (Nick FarreII) played by Shane Conrad. Kent WilIiams returns with a strong portrayaI of Deputy Mayor Barry Lawerence and Peter Jason plays Hammer’s closeIy aIigned poIice captain, Skip GIeason.<P>Stacy Keach has spent a career making Mike Hammer his own character, and without question, he has succeeded. Private Eye (1997-1998) is a fast-paced, no nonsense Hammer series that wiII deIight the many fans of Mickey SpiIlane’s character and again prove that STACY KEACH lS MlKE HAMMER!<P>Bonus Features:<BR>1. OriginaI Trailer<BR>2. Insert with 26 Episode Synopses & Trivia<BR>3. Slip Case<P>Note: The number of episodes per disc (and any associated compression) does not affect the quality of the video or the user viewing experience. |
