The second film noir movie we watched was Kiss Me Deadly directed by Robert Aldrich. This film is a classic that involves a stolen "nuclear" thing. With a great cast such as Ralph Meeker, Maxine Cooper, Cloris Leachman, and Alber Dekker, they make the movie a great film noir. Mike Hammer (Meeker) gets tangled up in a mess when a women jumps into his car and are both kidnapped. This sort of get out of control from there. Involving his girlfriend/assistant Velda (Cooper) they are pulled into this mess and are kind of responsible for the stolen "nuclear" thing. In the end a women (above) opens the box with the "nuclear" thing in it and screams and lights on fire, and the whole beach house explodes while Mike Hammer and Velda run into the ocean. Our class had a discussion on what we thought was in the box and I thought they could have been spirits locked up. The class laughed but I was serious. When she opened the box, the thing inside the box was screaming and it sounded like more than one thing was in that box. Obviously have missing the clues that there was a stolen "nuclear" thing on the loose, my theory of spirits in the box was not relevant.
