how do mike hammer live in a penthouse with a golf bag stash in the corner next to a big screen cathode ray tube tv and a snazzy fireplace . nah and he would knock back a bottle of rye and twenty unfiltered camel on the couch or floor of his fly speck office or in the stink of a lousy downtown la flop house and wipe the dry red crust and oil smear mud off his face and that how . spillane write trash paperback and for sure and but how do you make it bad . give some desperate scheming producer a blank check because he think any film noir title crap will sell at the box office and add some over the hill hot tomato and just generally screw up the story line by some retard and drug out screen writer and that how .
