Quicksand (1950) not bad with Mickey Rooney, Peter Lorre, Jeanne Cagney, Barbara Bates.
Well, Netflix doesn't have Quicksand for streaming. However, I was able to settle for:My Gun is Quick (1957) 8/10. This Mike Hammer entry is a lot of fun. Plenty of knuckle-play, a string of rub-outs, and dames, dames, dames. There's even a pretty good dock-side gun battle at the end (with a terrific shooter and shootee moment with Mike in the middle distance giving it to Thug #7 in the foreground). Robert Bray is probably what most people want for their Mike Hammer. He's good, though conventional, but would have been perfect for a TV show. In fact, this film seems a lot like a very, very, good TV episode--and some of the women in it did show up later on Perry Mason. Also this film has probably the best Velda of all time: Pamela Duncan (right, you've never heard of her. Neither had I). It doesn't have anyone comparable to Peggie Castle, though, so I, The Jury still remains my favorite Mike Hammer film. But this is definitely number 2.
