I heard rave reviews of this movie so i watched it on early morning TV recently. Great photography, perhaps the most unlikeable "hero" ever, a complicated plot and the torture scene with the girl was so appalling that i think it would have trouble getting past the censors now, BUT--- the scene where Mike Hammer discovers "The Box" and what it contains ruined the film for me. I know it was 50 years ago and that Joe Public knew nothing about the "contents of the box" but Hammer would have been burnt to a cinder long before he opened it , and that part of America would be uninhabitable for thousands of years! Think i don"t know what i"m talking about? Read the book "Trinity" which describes real life events and you will see what i mean.
