Mickey Spillane

Based on Mickey Spillane's tough-guy detective, That Hammer Guy aired in a series of half-hour episodes in 1953. The radio show was contemporaneous with the classic movie "I, The Jury" based on Spillan's roman noir of the same name.

Mike Hammer was the stereotypical hardboiled detective. Depending upon fists, rather than finesse, he summarily dispatched the bad guys. Spillane's black and white views of right and wrong were reflected in his character's contempt for the law, which he claimed was an impediment to justice.

The role of Hammer was played by Larry Haines, whose long career included parts on the 1930s radio series Gangbusters. He also voiced characters in Suspense, The Shadow, Inner Sanctum Mysteries, and X Minus One, and over 80 episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater. He is best known for his television role as Stu Bergman, in the daytime soap opera Search for Tomorrow. Former First Lady Pat Nixon claimed he was her favorite soap opera star.
