Mickey Spillane?s Violent Crusade from Pages to Screen
Original language description
The American hard-boiled detective fiction differs from the Classic British 'whodunit' primarily in a frequent use and realistic description of violence. However, violence does not exist only in crime fiction but also in literature as such, painting, theater, in all arts. Cinema, most likely, presents violence in the most vivid terms. Therefore, this article focuses on element of violence and its transformation from page to screen. The 'sample' for the analysis comprises of Mickey Spillane's hard-boileddetective fiction featuring the private detective Mike Hammer, novels I, the Jury (1947), My Gun Is Quick (1950), and Kiss Me, Deadly (1952) which were turned into quintessential films noir of the 1950s ? I, the Jury (1955), Kiss Me, Deadly (1955), andMy Gun Is Quick (1957). Spillane's fiction, scorned by critics, is regarded as overly violent, sadistic, and misogynistic ? nothing like Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler or Ross Macdonald's.
