The Girl Hunters
Rough! Ripping! Raw!
Sexy secretary Valda is missing...and her boss, private eye mike Hammer, is hot on her trail. Mickey Spillane himself, the best-selling author of The Girl Hunters, turns in a "tremendous" performance (TIME magazine) in the leading role. Count on some pulse-pounding action when Hammer tangles with a ruthless band of communist spies determined to see him dead. But even more dangerous might be the seductive, bikini-clad widow (Shirley Eaton, Goldfinger) who's caught Hammer's eye.
Spillane's Mike Hammer murder mysteries have sold in the millions across the world. And The Girl Hunters is vintage Spillane - fast and furious.

Spillane plays Hammer - Movie_Fan
Mickey Spillane, author of the Mike Hammer novels, plays his own creation in this well done action flick and does a good job.
Although brutal at times, especially for the time of release (the climax is a shocker), this is an above average detective thriller. Action elements are light but the plot moves things along.
Competent acting and crisp black and white photography add to the film's effectiveness. It was quite a surprise to learn that it was filmed in England - it doesn't show.
The bottom line: a good rental.
